The new addition at Woburn Public Library, originally built in 1879, was a unique project for Lockheed Architectural Solutions, Inc. The extension to the library was meant to blend the old world with the new, without taking away the beauty of the original building. Most of the addition is glass, which allows the new building to reflect the original one rather than overshadowing it. The new addition is connected to the original using a custom, Lockheed Architectural Solutions, Inc.-designed glazing system, which makes it appear as if the glass from the new building is installed into the original. Additionally, Lockheed Architectural Solutions, Inc. and CBT worked with Oldcastle to design a custom curtain wall system, which reflects the beauty of the historic building.
