LaGrange County Library Building Project Charrettes
char · rette \sh& ret'\ n
: a group assembled to examine a problem or matter, aided by specialists
Many urban design and public works projects,
including governmental, library, and other public institutions are completed
utilizing the charrette process of some form. The process allows
the architect to conduct preliminary design and program functions in a
public forum; thereby allowing user groups and the public to be engaged
in the design process.

the following public charrettes for the LaGrange County Library building
