Shaping Vibrant Communities
Modern libraries have evolved into vibrant community hubs that cater to creators, learners, and dreamers alike. Books are just the beginning, with libraries featuring new technology and resources such as maker spaces, workforce development hubs, digital media labs, and video and sound production studios.
Working closely with architects, library staff, and local stakeholders, HEAPY is dedicated to creating functional, sustainable, and inspiring library environments.
Designing Dynamic, Adaptable Spaces
HEAPY helps libraries remain relevant and resilient by designing adaptable and flexible spaces that can evolve with the changing needs of their communities.
Our MEP engineering solutions focus on creating multi-functional environments, from spaces optimized for traditional reading and research to modern digital media labs and collaboration areas. By implementing modular HVAC systems, energy-efficient lighting, and scalable electrical infrastructure, we ensure that libraries can easily adjust to new technologies and future use cases without the need for major overhauls.
This adaptability not only enhances the functionality of library spaces but also promotes long-term sustainability and resiliency, keeping libraries dynamic and responsive to the evolving demands of their patrons.

View AllBuilding a Sustainable Future
As public institutions, libraries are committed to investing in sustainable infrastructure for the public good. Our team focuses on creating high-performance, energy-efficient environments with proven technology to help reduce emissions, cut energy costs, and improve long-term operations and maintenance.
We also provide commissioning services to ensure all systems operate at peak efficiency, maximizing the library’s investment and minimizing environmental impact.
Whether integrating advanced building controls, renewable energy sources, or energy recover systems, HEAPY offers innovative solutions that create more sustainable, resilient community spaces.
Emphasizing Functional, Seamless Design
Libraries are a place of respite, inspiration, and creativity. We focus on creating environments that optimize acoustics, indoor air quality, and climate control to ensure comfort while protecting valuable collections. Our MEP and technology engineering solutions blend seamlessly with the interior design aesthetic of learning and collaboration spaces.
When it comes to technology system design, we build robust and flexible wired and wireless infrastructure to support technology needs today and tomorrow. We also design advanced audiovisual (AV) systems for conference rooms and community event spaces, ensuring that libraries can host a wide range of activities and programs.
