The new Hayward Library is a centerpiece of social infrastructure—a multi-functional, multi-generational learning center. Each floor builds upon the previous, reflecting the advancement of knowledge through different seasons of life: the first floor is colorful and playful; the second for active learning; the third is quiet and focused. The building currently operates as Zero Net Energy, pending certification by NBI, and is on track to receive LEED Platinum Certification.
