The new 21,000 square foot library will be part of a mixed use building at 280 Cadman Plaza West with 132 market rate units to be developed by the Hudson Companies, Inc. The selection of Hudson Companies as the development partner was approved by the BPL Board of Trustees this week. The building that will house the library, designed by Marvel Architects, will be 319 feet tall and include 350,000 square feet of mixed-use space. The library branch will be offering new collections, technology, and extensive programs. Planned features will include expanded youth program areas, quiet space for independent study, and a large community program room. Hudson will also build 114 units of offsite affordable housing within the community (CB2). The units will come online concurrent with the opening of 280 Cadman Plaza West in 2019/2010.
