It is the flagship location and administrative headquarters for the Phoenix Public Library. It was named in honor of Burton Barr, the Republican Majority Leader in the Arizona House of Representatives from 1966 to 1986.[1] The library houses a collection of 1 million volumes.[2] HistoryThe building was funded by a 1988 bond issue and replaced a nearby 1950s-era facility on McDowell Road that is now part of the Phoenix Art Museum. DesignThe design for the Burton Barr Central Library was a collaboration between DWL Architects and Will Bruder.[3] The five-story building opened in May 1995 and is 280,000 square feet (26,000 m²). Vertical circulation through the building is facilitated by a central open core containing three high-speed elevators and a five-level grand staircase known as the "crystal canyon."[2] The building incorporates a roof structure inspired by Buckminster Fuller's tensegrity structures and features shade sails on the north facade and motorized louvers on the south facade for improved sun control.[4] An open, {{convert|1|acre|sing=on}} reading room comprises the fifth floor. A summer solstice celebration is held there annually, where the lighting effects are best observed. At solar noon, some of the roof skylights project circles of sunlight directly down the north-south midline axis of the library, with some reaching the ground floor lobby. Sunlight simultaneously washes the upper eastern and western walls of the fifth level.[5] IncidentsOn July 15, 2017, the library sustained water damage from a broken sprinkler system, caused by a storm passing through the city.[6] About 6000 books were damaged. The library reopened on June 16, 2018. Library FacilitiesGreat Reading RoomThe great reading room on the fifth floor is 1 acre in area, one of the largest in the US.

The library was chosen as one of the Phoenix Points of Pride in 2008.[17] In 2010, the library received a LEED Existing Buildings Silver 2.0 designation.[18] It was awarded in the "existing buildings" category, rather than new construction, as LEED was not created until 1998, three years after the facility was opened.
