Anythink Nature Library
Designed to foster a deeper connection between people and the natural world, the Anythink Nature Library reimagines the traditional library as an immersive destination for discovery, learning, and environmental stewardship. This facility features sweeping architectural forms inspired by the surrounding prairie, expansive glazing, and a central open-air garden that seamlessly connects indoor and outdoor spaces.
Designed by Davis Partnership Architects and THK Associates, the building integrates nature-inspired architecture with sustainable design strategies, including geothermal heating and cooling and rooftop solar panels. Gardner Walker’s AviProtek® bird-safe glass pattern 217 helps make the extensive glazed surfaces more visible to birds, supporting wildlife protection while preserving the building’s openness and connection to the landscape.
The Anythink Nature Library demonstrates how thoughtful architectural design and bird-safe glazing can work together to create an inspiring, environmentally conscious space for the community.
