Abandoned Walmart Library: The design won the International Interior Design Association’s 2012
Library Interior Design Competition. MSR stripped out the old ceiling
and walls of the building, gave the perimeter walls and bare warehouse
ceiling a coat of white paint, and set to work adding glass-enclosed
spaces, bright architectural details and row after row of books. With each store taking up enough space for 2.5 football fields, Walmart’s use of more than 698 million square feet of land in the U.S. is one of its biggest environmental impacts. Meyer, Scherer & Rockcastle transformed an abandoned Walmart in McAllen, Texas, into a 124,500-square-foot public library, the largest single-floor public library in the United States.
