Where will the Library of Birmingham be built?
The site for the Library of Birmingham is between Baskerville House and The REP on Centenary Square. It was formerly used as a car park, which closed in July 2009. Owned by the City Council, the site has long been earmarked for a special, high quality new development. The Council is committed to delivering a new landmark building to make an exciting addition to the urban landscape in this part of the city centre. The development will include a new 300 seat studio theatre, meeting and conference rooms, plus cafe and restaurant facilities that will be used by both library and theatre visitors, with the two organisations working in partnership to deliver a diverse range of activities and events at this exceptional destination for culture. The development will boost and consolidate the continued regeneration of the city centre’s Westside and the improvement of Centenary Square. Please click on the picture for a larger version.
