2019 Annual Review: Drayton Fair of LLB Architects
LLB Architects
What was your greatest professional accomplishment in 2019?
I am particularly proud of the fact the LLB Architects had five projects selected by AIA Rhode Island to receive Design Awards this year. They highlight our work in education – both higher education and K-12 – as well as in designing public libraries to engage communities. I have spent more than 30 years working with public institutions throughout New England and I have a special place in my heart for libraries which are truly the lifeblood of a community. To see the work of our talented team recognized by our peers is wonderful. Our recent projects at the Franklin Public Library and the Weston Art & Innovation Center, which is a maker space branch of the Weston Public Library, show the future of libraries. These are the gathering spaces of the future and I am excited to be a part of it!
