Abraham Lincoln Presidential Library

Springfield, Ill.
Completion: November 2003
Size: 99,600 square feet

Architect: Hellmuth Obata + Kassabaum, St. Louis
Acoustics: Shen Milsom & Wilke, Chicago

This new library is designed to preserve and protect the collection of books and documents on the legend of Lincoln. Shen Milsom & Wilke provided acoustical finishes to create a quiet, calm atmosphere appropriate to the nature of the building. Noise and vibration control was important in the Lincoln reading room, a student classroom, conservatory labs, a multipurpose room that seats 250, a computer lab, and offices.
