Schaumburg Township Main Library - Teen Quad

Designing a Productive Space for Teens
Schaumburg, Illinois

Schaumburg Township Main Library wanted to provide their teen population with a technologically advanced, state-of-the-art area with built-in flexibility. The idea of a teen quad, where teens could relax, study, and socialize, was the result of series of brainstorming sessions with teen focus groups. The 6,370-square-foot interior renovation included quite a few key features, such as a video production room, study area, program and discussion rooms, as well as a vending and social area.
