The library has quickly become a community cornerstone, offering a unique and welcoming space for all. Its unconventional shape stems from its studied integration into the surrounding environment, and its thoughtful responses to neighborhood needs have captivated residents eager for a branch library after waiting more than twenty five years.

WORKac’s Mission Rock Building B is out now in THE PLAN 157 in Raymund Ryan’s Letter From America. “The entire structure, with its dynamic appearance, is characterized by horizontal shifts, created by the irregular arrangement of overlapping planes, and by vertical cuts that create voids in the elevations of the external envelope. The carefully rounded edges by WORKac, including the window frames and jambs, soften the very marked orthogonal approach, transforming the elevations into soft and contiguous surfaces. Upon closer inspection, Building B is a matrix of habitable elements, planted terraces and glazed recesses characterised by a band of large square windows on each floor resembling a strip of analogue film. The floors recede – and sometimes protrude – as the building grows in height, where the volumetric mass allows. The numerous resulting terraces extend on all sides of the building.” - Raymund Ryan Building B is part of the 28-acre redevelopment effort led by Tishman Speyer and the San Francisco Giants. The first phase of Mission Rock features China Basin Park, a new 5-acre public park designed by SCAPE Landscape Architecture DPC and four new buildings, designed by Henning Larsen, MVRDV and Studio Gang.

WORKac is leading the transformation of the historic Sibley Dome at Cornell University College of Architecture, Art, and Planning. Currently serving as a connection between the East and West Wings of Sibley Hall and the Campus Arts Quad, the reimagined Sibley Dome offers a new place for students, faculty, and staff to come together. Breathing new life into underutilized spaces while preserving the dome’s historic architecture, the renovation introduces new multipurpose spaces, including a new suspended 100-seat auditorium, study nooks and group spaces, and a home for the Department of Design Tech and the Cornell Mui Ho Center for Cities.
