- Main_Branch,_McAllen_Public_Library abstract "The Main Branch of the McAllen Public Library is part of the public library system in McAllen, Texas, and exists inside a former WalMart big box store. Opened in December 2011, it is the largest single-floor library in the United States, occupying 125,000 square feet (11,600 m2), equivalent to 2.5 US football playing fields.The design, by Meyer Scherer & Rockcastle Ltd. (MSR) of Minneapolis, won the International Interior Design Association (IIDA) 2012 Library Interior Design Competition. In 2013, the design also won the Honor Award for Interior Architecture, which is the highest honor for interior design awarded by the American Institute of Architects (AIA). The awards selection jury noted that "The interior spaces have been dramatically transformed from a warehouse to a place with a sense of intimacy." The building addresses sustainable design, including careful materials selection for optimal indoor air quality, use of recycled materials, energy and water conservation, and ease of community access.The new library has a spacious layout featuring 16 public meeting spaces, 14 public study rooms, 64 general computer labs, 6 teen computer labs, 10 children’s computer labs, and 2 genealogy computer labs. The building also includes self check-out units for borrowers, an auditorium, an art gallery, a used bookstore, and a cafe. The new library appears to be popular; new user registrations increased by 23% in the first month since its opening.".
