[Adjaye Associates](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/princeton-university-art-museum) designed a collection of [pigmented concrete pavilions](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/miel-pavilion) in the park to house the library. Described as a micro-village, the park features through pavilions. Adjaye Associates were tasked with redesigning the space and replacing an existing civic center with a new cultural hub. The [library section](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/yellamundie) comprises a 35,155 square foot space, while the events center boasts 18,200 square feet. Additionally, the pavilions include a Porte Cochere, a portico-style canopy used as a pick-up and drop-off point for easy access to the facilities. Each pavilion boasts square and rectangular buildings with exterior walls that are angled inwards at their base.
