Cagan Crossings Community Library
Clermont, FL
Lake County | 30,000 SF | 2008
Known as "Four Corners," the intersection of Lake, Orange, Osceola and Polk Counties is one of the many growing areas of Central Florida with a population of about 100,000. Located near Walt Disney World, the population of Four Corners could jump to 250,000 residents by 2020.
Rapid growth and library space projections dictated the need for a new library, as local residents were previously using a 6,200 square foot leased space. Cagan Crossings Community Library was the first facility that Lake County built to specifically serve as a library. At 30,000 square feet, it includes a self-checkout area, public access computers, Wi-Fi, café and a 160-seat community room.
The first floor's story time room permits views to a quiet reading garden nestled within the site's lush vegetation. The second floor features a special collections area and abundant casual seating.
