    Interior Design

The library's concise and efficient layout accommodates both the playful and business aspects of a modern library.

This 10,000-square-foot space was newly built inside an existing shell operated by the Maricopa County Library District (MCLD) and owned by the City of Goodyear.

A dedicated children’s area offers age-appropriate activities alongside computer terminals. The teen area provides a space for youth to socialize with friends or focus on studying for exams. To support student success, the library features a SMART table and two early literacy computers.

Recognizing a need for entrepreneurial support in the West Valley, ASU, the City of Goodyear, and the Maricopa Library District collaborated to create the Innovation Hub @ Goodyear. This flexible area supports collaborative work and learning, offering incubator space for potential start-ups and mentoring for career changes. Additional resources include access to meeting rooms for discussions with potential clients or classes taught by business professionals from ASU’s Rapid Startup School.
