Finegold Alexander Selected as J.V. Fletcher Library Architect  

Boston-based Finegold Alexander Architects has secured the architectural design role for the J.V. Fletcher Library’s renovation and expansion in Westford, MA. Their selection followed a Schematic Feasibility Study, aiming to modernize the historic 1895 library. 

The project centers on preserving the library’s historical facade while integrating modern functionality. The envisioned design includes an entry space, expanded children’s areas, and an outdoor storytelling zone on the main level. The second floor will offer enlarged adult collections, varied meeting spaces, and a dedicated section for young adults. 

“Our design approach focuses on preserving the library’s heritage while enhancing its functionality and inviting atmosphere. This project embodies our commitment to seamlessly integrating history and modernity,” said Ellen Anselone, AIA, Principal-In-Charge. The JV Fletcher Library renovation and expansion project is expected to be completed by May 2026.
