Daniel Library Renovation



           The Post and Courier described it best last week in their article on the renovation. 
"The Citadel's Daniel Library was a beautiful and modern facility when it opened in 1960.

But until recently, it still "looked like "a 1960s library," said library director Angie LeClercq."  We worked with Liollio Architects, general contractor Stenstrom and Associates and stone installer Paverscapes to create a new look for an aging library.  The money for the library came the Citadel alumni, so we put forth extra effort to create a unique space for everyone to enjoy.  The architect picked a Select Blue Thermal Bluestone for the entry and staircase.  David Lugo of Paverscapes fabricated the tread stones for the staircase on site.  As you can see below the color contrast of the stone give the library a very modern updated look.  Click here to see the Post and Courier article.

In the project you can see that the select blue colors with a thermal finish really added interest to the lobby floor.  The pattern chosen by the architect was a 4pc Museum Pattern.

The entrance to the library was also given a face lift with a new cast stone retaining wall cap and bluestone entryway.
