Originally built in 1967, the Astoria Public Library required a modern exterior cladding system that would improve durability, energy performance, and weather protection while preserving the building’s mid-century architectural character. The renovation presented additional engineering challenges, including integrating new façade components with the existing structure and accounting for coastal wind and moisture exposure.

The renovated façade gives the Astoria Public Library a renewed exterior while maintaining its architectural identity. The engineered cladding support system helps protect the building from the elements, supports long-term durability, and contributes to improved energy performance—helping preserve this valued community landmark for future generations.
