The design of the new Charles E. Miller Branch and Historical Center is the result of a collaborative visioning effort between the architects, Howard County Library, and the Howard County Historical Society. The Center is a two story building located on approximately a 10-acre triangular site adjacent to the existing Miller Branch on Frederick Road in Ellicott City, Maryland. The new Miller Branch and site development project was designed for LEED Silver Certification. The building matches the caliber of the curriculum HCLS delivers under its three pillars:  Self-Directed Education, Research Assistance & Instruction, and Instructive & Enlightening Experiences.  A welcoming destination, the branch's array of spaces are conducive to studying, reading, conducting research, attending classes and events -- and enjoyment.
