Description

The New York Public Library has unveiled a Master Plan for its the Stephen A. Schwarzman Building on Fifth Avenue and 42nd Street, one of the nation’s leading research libraries, which for over a century has stood as a symbol of open and free access to information and opportunity.

The plan—developed by Dutch architecture firm Mecanoo and NYC-based firm Beyer Blinder Belle—will prepare the historic library for the future, adding approximately 20% more public space to the building for research, exhibitions, and programs and greatly improving flow and infrastructure.

A second public presentation of the Master Plan will be held at the Schwarzman Building's Celeste Auditorium on Thursday, December 7 at 5 PM. The design team and Library leaders will be in attendance to discuss the plan and answer questions. We look forward to seeing you there.
