Creative Library Focal Point

Arlington, TX

StudioCraft partnered with the University of Texas–Arlington to create custom library circulation desks as part of a larger effort to modernize and upgrade the student library.

Through multiple design iterations and close collaboration with the client, our team developed a solution that met their functional needs and resulted in a creative centerpiece for the space.

The custom millwork circulation desks are clad in thermoformed 3form panels that bring shape and vibrancy to the design. Illumination along the toekick adds dimension, while integrated access panels provide seamless power management. The interior is fully custom-built and the entire piece is securely anchored to the floor to withstand daily student use.

By leveraging our expertise in thermoforming, StudioCraft achieved the desk’s precise curves and unique finish, creating a recognizable focal point that improves circulation and flow throughout the library.
