Project Summary

The Eva Perry Regional Library first opened in 1996 and is one of Wake County's most active libraries. It serves the Apex and southern Cary areas. The renovations updated the building's interiors and addressed long-term maintenance issues with aging building systems.  Improvements included an updated layout, furnishings, book shelving, signage, floor and wall finishes, high-efficiency LED lighting, ceilings, restroom enhancements and support space improvements.
