Polk Stanley Wilcox Architects
This building stretching from Arkansas of Saudi Arabia library been singled out as more than just stellar examples of educational and cultural resource centers. The project combines three buildings of three different centuries and construction types into one site-sensitive architectural timeline, creating a pedestrian-focused gateway to the library campus and the public face of Arkansas history.
Library architecture are getting more fancier these days of design historic faces of Arkansas life, like large book marks in time. Architectures designed historical monument of library feel more historical times. The library crystallizes the architectural ambitions of this university as a contemporary global center for scientific thinking that is rooted in local cultural and place.  The architects worked with community members of all ages during numerous intensive design sessions to ensure the project would reflect the special character and unique needs of this urban community.
