Hayward Library Design Tour
Join our Design Tours Committee for a tour of the Hayward Library with Noll & Tam Architects!
Located on an urban site adjacent to the City’s main downtown park, this three-story library is an innovative resource for Hayward’s diverse community. The library includes expanded classrooms and educational spaces for an adult learning center and a homework center. It is one of the largest Zero Net Energy public libraries in the country and includes a rainwater catchment system that will save and recycle 500,000 gallons of water per year. In terms of design, sustainability, and service delivery, this is truly a 21st Century Library.
