Open Works is now the sixth largest makerspace in the country—developing skills and employment for people and fueling a renewed manufacturing legacy for the city. The 34,000 square foot building gives life to small-scale manufacturing, creative startups, and individual artists and craftspeople. Connecting innovation to creativity within the community, members enjoy access to the numerous tools, technical resources and studio, shop, and lab spaces necessary to practice and maintain their craft.

Work Culture People Contact News Webcasts Careers Varina Library Henrico, Virginia Learning Project Inspired by the community, our team created a dynamic learning hub that celebrates and reflects the unique, local culture and history of the Varina district. We borrowed materials and the form of a tobacco barn, to create a series of three pavilions that emerges from and cascades down the site toward a protected wetland. Natural light bathes the interior of the library throughout the day as the end of each pavilion is enclosed by expansive glass walls that maximize patrons' views and provide a connection to the landscape. Supporting the patrons’ diverse study and work needs, we incorporated a variety of learning spaces equipped with movable and adaptable furniture for patrons working independently or collaboratively.
