As the community role of a public library changes, MWS is committed to immersing in that wave of thought and seeking out new solutions that challenge the way we learn outside of the formal classroom.
Technology plays a huge role in defining how a populace will utilize a public library, and we have leveraged our experience and knowledge of existing and remerging technology to design library spaces which embody the needs and desires of the local citizens.
We understand the relationships between staff spaces and circulation, customer service desks and the flow of patrons through the stacks, sightlines, and other nuances of library design. Each solution is custom-fit for the libraries’ needs, but we strive to provide as much flexibility as possible to support the growing programs and cultural influence of the modern library.

When designing the new Engine 10 Ladder 11 fire station in South Philadelphia, MW Studios was integral in working with LAYER Architecture to create a strong and trusting relationship between the client, the design team, and the Philadelphia Fire Department. Rob Manns and his team are adept at speaking the language of first responders and can easily translate their needs into reasonable solutions. Unlike other technicians, MW Studios is a design-oriented architecture firm. Working with our design team, they enjoy resolving the technical needs of the city and the fire department while transforming a garage for emergency apparatuses to a home away from home, a community center, and a first rate building that anticipates the inevitable challenges that confront an evolving service to the community.”
