Opened in September 2019, the new co-located facility is comprised of the library, recreation center, Friends of the Library used bookstore and a parking garage located underneath the building. HDI Ferric™ and Optik Boss railing systems serve as a critical connecting point to the multifaceted site design, which features entrances and lobbies at multiple levels.

The Ferric railing system, with a brushed finish and high quality 316 stainless steel components, was chosen to withstand the outdoor environment. The sleek exterior railing install is enhanced by the perforated stainless steel infill panels providing an elegant sense of security. Sustainable building materials, coupled with a compact installation footprint contribute to LEED silver certification at Wheaton Library and  Community Recreation Center. G+P Architects designed the facility with room for future PV panels on the roof for renewable energy and vegetative roof areas for stormwater management.

“This building is an important part of the county’s efforts to reinvigorate the Wheaton area, and is a good example of trying to think differently about how we approach our services to the community in this one building.” said Montgomery County Executive Marc Elrich.
