Completed in 1972 in the international style, the MLK Library consists of approximately400,000 square feet of space and has great artistic and aesthetic value which contributesto the cultural and architectural heritage of the District of Columbia. The buildings
artistry is defined by its harmonious relationships, its use of materials and its attention todetail. The building features a symmetrically arranged steel frame structure with glasscurtain walls that fully express the minimalist Miesian ideal, further complemented bythe spare built-in furnishings (circulation desk, information desk, shelving and cardcatalogs). In addition to the structural materials, a high level of attention was paid to theuse of surface materials, including granite floors that extend from the interior of thebuilding to the street curb on the exterior, and brick walls (originally specified as greenmarble). Details, such as recessed reveals, are carried out consistently throughout thebuilding.
