Architect Magazine Highlights Wellesley College’s Clapp Library
A recent Architect Magazine feature,“The Library as We Know It Is Disappearing. And That’s a Good Thing,” examines how libraries across the country are transforming to meet the needs of contemporary communities. Drawing from the American Library Association’s 2026 Library Design Showcase, the article highlights 15 projects, including Wellesley College’s Margret A. Clapp Library, that are redefining the role of the library as a civic, cultural, and educational destination.

The article details how our team faced a unique design challenge: modernizing a library whose architectural history stretches across more than a century of construction and expansion.
