Borough of Ridgefield Public Library

A centerpiece of its community and nestled within a residential neighborhood, the Ridgefield Public Library serves as a vital resource and educational hub for its many patrons.

The easy integration of this single-level, 14,600 s.f. library into Ridgefield’s suburban neighborhood was facilitated by RSC’s architectural design team, who creatively eliminated the need for elevator access by using the site’s slope to their advantage. RSC’s interior design, which involved an open floor plan, decorative exposed brick columns, a muted color palette, and a traditional fireplace within the adult reading area, create a warm and inviting atmosphere. A centralized administration area connects the distinguishable areas of the library, while a separate children’s area, multi-purpose room, and separate meeting room provide spaces for the public’s use after library hours and truly meet the entire community’s needs.
