Weston Arts and Innovation Center
In 2016, the Town of Weston voted to allocate design funds to renovate the Old Library to create an Art & Innovation Center. The Center is a branch of the Weston Public Library and provides hands-on learning opportunities related to art and technology for citizens of all ages. In addition, the Weston Media Center, a nonprofit independent cable TV station and media hub, is located in the new facility.
LLB began working with the town in January 2017, and worked with the WAIC building committee to identify program requirements based on the needs of the town. While understanding the constraints of the existing historic building, the team moved forward to provide an effective layout and design. LLB met with various boards to ensure the historic nature and the new use of the building was carefully balanced. At a November 2017 Town Meeting, the citizens overwhelmingly moved for the project to proceed into construction. The renovation of this historic building was completed in the the summer of 2019.
