The Public Library in Henrietta Accurate Acoustical

Accurate Acoustical, a 26-year-old subcontracting company in Victor, was given the opportunity to assist in the construction of a new public library in the town of Henrietta. The architectural and engineering design was led by Peter Weiner of Passero Associates. The construction manager was Christa Construction, led by John Radesi and Jason Kuberka. Accurate Acoustical performs cold form metal framing, sheathing, linear metal systems inside and out, light gauge metal framing, insulation, drywall, in-wall blocking, and various ceiling systems, from linear metal to wood or cloud ceilings.

At 625 Calkins R oad in Henrietta, the two-story 36,000-square-foot library boasts unique and cutting-edge qualities from both an architectural and mechanical standpoint. Passero Associates will be honored this April for the project when it receives a Gold Award for Engineering Excellence by the American Council of Engineering Companies New York. A geothermal heating and cooling system was one of the green initiatives implemented during the construction process. It has features for both indoors and outdoors. Outdoors, it will be utilized beneath the parking lot to aid in snow and ice accumulation maintenance. Inside, it will provide radiant heat in the floors

during the winter months and cooling in the summer months. LED lighting is featured throughout.

The exterior of the building has many alluring architecture systems and features. Brick masonry and 24-inch stone were used

on the facades. In addition, the outside features a rainscreen facade system. Both entrances, north and south, feature large exterior clocks with canopies and automatic door systems. Throughout

the canopies are 24-inch-diameter stainless steel columns. A book drop is conveniently located in the west side parking lot, making it easy for patrons to return books. The second floor boasts a large balcony that overlooks Calkins Road. The showcase of the interior is the cast-in-place staircase at the library’s center. “Wood look” linear ceilings outlined by extensive soffit detail highlight the staircase. The children’s library entry wall features a continuous radius covered in mosaic tile. An abundance of specialty ceiling clouds and systems provide aesthetic appeal, along with acoustic values.
