Northwestern Design was a semifinalist for the Ralph B. McClure Award for the millwork and casework at the CSU Monterey Bay Library.

Architectural millwork featuring both CNC engineering and custom handcrafting were used during the manufacturing of this project. Theater-style classroom desks with flip-up data ports were included in the unique custom desk work. The library’s three-story atrium features a modern design with elliptical casework. All countertop edges featured exposed Baltic plywood with mitered corners. Hardwood trim was quarter-sawn steamed Beechwood.

Many of the library workstations incorporated 3form in a beautiful red, setting off the natural Baltic plywood. The workstations all transition from sitting to standing, allowing staff to work in ergonomic positions that fit their needs.
