Public Libraries
Branch and central-library millwork — circulation, community programming, maker-spaces.
Recent work: Valley Park Library and municipal branch projects.
About this sub-sector
Public libraries are neighbourhood civic infrastructure. The millwork has to serve programs, patrons and staff for decades.
Sandha delivers branch and central-library scope — circulation, stacks, program rooms, maker-spaces and children's-area terraces.
