Architect: Sakellar Associates
Developer: Pima County Library
Project Location: Tucson, AZ
Project Description: The Murphy-Wilmot Library addition and renovation was designed by Dino Sakellar, AIA. This structure was originally designed by Nicholas Sakellar, FAIA and constructed in 1964. Sakellar Associates was founded in 1956 and was one of the most respected architectural firms in the southwest providing innovative desert architecture. This library provides a wide-open visual environment which is protected by the harsh summer heat by broad floating planes. The defining element in Dino's vision is the north facing Collections addition which is a pavilion that completes the original concept perfectly and respectfully.
