These images illustrate the exterior views of the proposed free-standing library on West Washington Avenue, as well as our preliminary concepts for the old library site on Mifflin Street.
The New Central Library will be the sole occupant in a single-use building on Block 66 at the northeast corner of West Washington Avenue and Henry Street in Madison. The building will be constructed on an existing foundation originally master planned for a 10-story office tower, saving months of construction time and eliminating the need for a temporary library site.
A three-story structure currently exists on the New Library site. It includes one level of commercial office space on top of two levels of parking. Office tenants in the space will be relocated prior to the construction start. Parking on the two levels, however, will remain open and dedicated to occupants of the Network222 office building.
