Broward County Library, Main Branch, 100 S Andrews Avenue, Fort Lauderdale, Florida, USA / Built: 1984-1985 / Architect: Robert Gatje / Floors: 8 / Height: 94.49 ft / Architectural Style: Modernism

The Building:
Precast & site-cast concrete, curtain wall.
Interesting circulation, facade materials, and transparency differentiation, one side planar and more opaque, the other eroded into terraces.

The 260,000 square-foot, $49 million Main Library, funded by a 1978 bond issue, opened in April 1984. The eight-story multi-purpose building was hailed as a symbol of the resurgence of business, government, and cultural activity in the downtown Fort Lauderdale area.
