The Leonardo project transformed Salt Lake City’s former downtown library into a center for science, technology, and art. The three-story building was adapted for interactive exhibitions, suspended installations, educational activities, and events while retaining its existing concrete structure.

Reaveley’s structural work supported the conversion through seismic improvements and modifications for the new museum program. The recovered remodel addressed floor infills, new wall openings, relocated column support, and connections for suspended artwork and rooftop solar equipment. These interventions adapted the former library’s structural framework to accommodate new circulation, exhibit loads, and building systems, supporting the reuse of a prominent civic building.

Certified LEED Gold, the building incorporates sustainable features, including a rooftop solar array that generates renewable energy.
