  2. D.C. SHAW LIBRARY • Architects: Davis Brody Bond Aedas • Location: Washington D.C. • Project Area: 22,800 sq ft • Completed: 2010

  3. LOCATION • Located in the Shaw neighborhood of Washington, DC, the $12 million facility is located along Rhode Island Avenue, NW at 7th Street, on a triangular urban site near Howard University. The new 22,800 square foot library marks this important intersection as a civic and educational node for the community.

  4. FASCADE • The building utilizes a corrugated, perforated aluminum screen wall system across its southern facade.

  5. CURTAIN WALL • With a 40% open area, the screen wall sits three feet in front of an expansive glazed curtain wall and provides sufficient shading of the upper level reading room while allowing natural daylight to enter the space.

  6. SHADING • The shading system allows a reduced dependence on artificial lighting and its related energy costs as well as protects the Library's collection from harmful solar exposure.

  7. ENERGY CONSERVATION • Designed to meet LEED Silver Certification, Watha T. Daniel/Shaw Library incorporates a vegetative green roof, displacement air system, solar control and daylight management and extensive use of recyclable and renewable materials.
