BEI Architects & Engineers, Inc. is currently partnered with Diamond and Schmitt Architects to provide architectural and engineering services for a new two-story 55,000 square foot library for the City of Novi.

The new library is strategically located on the Novi Civil Center Campus with good visibility from 10 Mile Road.

The new library includes a book drop-off, a fireplace and landscaping, including bio-swales as part of the storm water management plant. It also includes an outdoor patio with views of the adjacent city-owned Fuerst Farm Park and space for a collection of over 180,000 volumes.

Among the many amenities, the new library will include a 200-seat meeting room, 104 computer stations, additional space for patrons, staff and collections, a teen area, Friends of the Novi Public Library used book store and a cafe.
