Switzer Library

Albion provided full preconstruction and construction management services for the renovation and expansion of Switzer Library, a prominent public facility in downtown Marietta. Partnering with Clark Patterson Lee and library design specialist 720 Design, Albion helped reimagine the 30-year-old library into a more inclusive, functional, and technology-forward civic hub.

The project included a new outdoor plaza for programming and events, upgraded community rooms with modern presentation technology, a computer classroom for digital literacy training, and dedicated spaces for teens, children, and accessibility services. These improvements were delivered while the library remained in operation, requiring careful coordination and phased construction.

This project reflects Albion’s expertise in building municipal facilities that serve the public daily and accommodate a broad range of users and activities. With its focus on accessibility, flexible space planning, and long-term durability, the Switzer Library project offers a strong parallel to the goals of the NCWSA Administration Building Expansion. The project was recognized with both DBIA-SE and AGC Build Georgia awards for its excellence in civic construction.
