Originally a Carnegie town library and town square, the Yuma Heritage Library project restores its prominent standing as a social destination and focal point for all ages in downtown Yuma, Arizona. The scope of work included a major renovation that required Studio Ma to recognize both its standing within the historic Yuma community and to find an effective design approach to maximize the value of the existing building.
