Tutt Library - Colorado Springs, CO
The expanded and reimagined Tutt Library at Colorado College in Colorado Springs stands as the largest carbon-neutral academic library in America, embodying a commitment to sustainability and innovation.
The vibrant and dynamic design of the library caters to the evolving needs of a modern academic institution and reflects the distinctive academic program at the college. Originally conceived during a time when libraries were seen as mere repositories for books, the original building had a closed-off and inward-focused design.
Through a transformative vision, the new Tutt Library, featuring Swisspearl Carat panels, reimagines this introspective approach by turning it inside-out. This redesign not only mirrors the changing role of libraries in the digital age but also aligns with the progressive values of Colorado College, creating a welcoming and forward-thinking space for students and faculty alike.
