Dennis Humphries, co-founding principal at Humphries Poli Architects, has been practicing architecture for over 35 years designing award winning libraries for over a decade. Having been principal author for nearly 70 public library projects, he has completed more public library work than any other architect in Colorado.
As a leader in the design industry, Dennis has been invited to speak at national and international library design and architecture forums. Dennis presented most recently in Library Journal’s webinar “Reinventing Your Library”, was a keynote speaker at the “Risk and Reward Conference” in Telluride and participated on panel at the 2013 Design Institute in Seattle, speaking on “the Evolution of Library Design”.
Dennis’ true passion for thoughtful library design is evinced by wide acceptance of his trend setting design concepts now being employed across the US. In 2011, Library Journal recognized Anythink Wright Farms (Thornton, CO) as a Landmark Library, an honor bestowed on only ten libraries across the country constructed within the previous six years.
