The St. Louis Public Library and Cannon Design won the American Institute of Architects’ 2014 Institute Honor Award for Architecture for the Central Library restoration and renewal project, one of 11 winners nationwide. “The transformation of the interior stacks is fantastic,” jurors remarked; “it provided the opportunity for a progressive intervention that is still sensitive to the host building. The canopy on the exterior, too, is modern yet sympathetic to the historic building.” In the year since it reopened to the public, Central has averaged nearly 40,000 visitors per month.
