Goodlettsville Branch Library Grand Opening

July 11, 2011

On July 8, 2011, Metropolitan Government of Nashville and Davidson County, Metro General Services and Metro Nashville Public Libraries officially opened the Goodlettsville Branch Library in Goodlettsville, TN.  This 16,000 SF, state-of-the-art library features a children's, young adult/teen and adult/senior area, popular materials/displays, audio visual, vending, meeting spaces, study rooms and a special, Goodlettsville-oriented historic exhibit.  In addition to 38 public computers, wireless technology throughout the library, self-checkout stations, public seating up to 200, an approximate 36,000 item collection and parking for up to 90, the Goodlettsville Branch Library provides everything and more for younger learning minds to professionals and seniors in the community.  The Library is located in front of Goodlettsville Elementary, which creates a sphere of education within a short walking distance.

Gobbell Hays Partners, Inc. worked closely with all Metro entities through the entire fruition of the Goodlettsville Branch Library, serving as Bridging Architect.  Dominique G. Arrieta, AIA, LEED AP, served as Program Manager and held this position highly to ensure the Library met and exceeded the expectations of Metro Nashville, Metro Nashville Public Libraries and the community of Goodlettsville.  We are proud to have been associated with such a successful project not only due to its appeal and functionality, but also how highly-beneficial the Library will be for the students and citizens of Goodlettsville.
