This is a distinctive building, but what and where in South Carolina is it?

Last issue’s mystery

The July 2 mystery photo was tough.  It showed a construction project.  There were great guesses of an electricity substation on James Island and the new Volvo plant.  But the photo showed the state of construction on a new 40,000-square-foot library being built in the Carolina Park area of Mount Pleasant.  The local library system is in the middle of a $108 million construction program that will yield five new libraries within a couple of years.  More.

Congratulations to David Burt of James Island and George Graf of Palmyra, Va.  The answer should have been easy to Burt – he’s one of the architects on the project.  Graf figured out the mystery by using his noggin.  He also provided some context:

“According to carolinapark.com, the new library will join Carolina Park Elementary School and Oceanside Collegiate Academy as the newest additions to Carolina Park’s “knowledge hub” – a collection of five outstanding schools complemented by the new library, and all located within the Carolina Park community.

“Designs for the 40,000-square-foot facility show a modern library with an inviting outside seating area. Construction for the Carolina Park library is estimated at about $23 million, according to the Charleston County Public Library.

“A 2014 referendum approved five new county libraries and renovations at 13 branches. This is the first groundbreaking for any of the approved new branches. New libraries are also planned in North Charleston, James Island, West Ashley and Hollywood.”
