Elkridge Library and 50+ Center
Securing One Air Tight Facility At A Time
The new 35,000 SF branch will double the size of the current facility, while the 50+ Center will expand from 2,150 SF to 10,000 SF. The project includes an expanded children’s classroom, a Science, Technology and Math (STEM) classroom and additional space to accommodate an education program for adults.It will also include additional quiet study rooms, a meeting area and a new center for teens, designed as a draw for students of all ages.
Scope of Work
Libraries are known for their quiet and comfortable learning environments. Their places where people can go to focus on their studies or read a quite book. A project of the scale and size requires a building envelope specialist that understand what it means produce a quiet and air tight facility. For the Howard County Library and 50 + Center the team from Cameron Building Envelope Specialist used and insulating air barrier systems to complete the project.
Liquid applied air and moisture barrier systems are effective components in wall assemblies because they control moisture and minimize air leakage, therefore providing critical protection from moisture for water-sensitive components.
