The new 30,000 s.f. Martin Luther King Jr. Library and Municipal Services Center was designed as an inspiration, focusing on the energy of the redevelopment of Original Aurora. The two-story facility becomes a distinctive signature destination, identifying its community. The project acts as the design precedent for the surrounding redevelopment of a reemerging neighborhood, as the first step in rebuilding several city blocks on East Colfax Avenue. The design included the development of a new building and park, with the integration of a plaza for many daytime and evening activities for a continuously changing population.
