The architect in me loves this: Repurposing a space for the good of the community.

Minneapolis-based architects Meyer, Scherer & Rockcastle, Ltd. breathed fresh life into the warehouse, about as big as two and-a-half football fields, late last year, when they repurposed it as the country’s largest single-story public library.
