Bullitt County Central Library receives national award recognition

Bullitt County Central Library West Courtyard

We're excited to share that Bullitt County Central Library (Shepherdsville) has been selected for the 2023 Library Design Showcase, an annual celebration of new and renovated libraries that address patron needs in exciting and effective ways.

The new Central Library was recognized in the Climate-Conscious category, a testament to our dedication to creating environmentally responsible and sustainable landscapes.

Envisioned as an eco-friendly oasis in the heart of the town’s main shopping corridor, Bullitt County Central Library features a geothermal HVAC system, rain gardens, and 610 rooftop solar collectors, which produce an estimated 50% of the building’s electrical usage. The campus also boasts four courtyard gardens, each representing one of the four classical elements—earth, air, water, and fire—and the four seasons with native plants that flourish throughout the year.

This honor reflects the library's commitment to a greener future, and we're proud to have been a part of this project.
