New Fairfield library opens in Henrico
The adult library.
The new Fairfield Area Library opened Sunday with an event that included tours and remarks by Henrico County officials. Located at 1401 N. Laburnum Ave., the two-story, 44,800-square-foot facility is nearly twice as large as its predecessor, which opened in 1976.
The new library features about 54,000 books and other volumes, 100 public computers, a 96-person meeting room, a classroom, smaller conference and study rooms, a digital media lab, a recording studio, dedicated areas for children and teens, and a drive-up service window.
The $29 million project was funded through the 2016 bond referendum. It was designed by BCWH (now Quinn Evans Architects) and Boston-based Tappé Architects and constructed by Gulf Seaboard Construction.
