Text description provided by the architects. Located on an urban block in Pittsburgh, the Carnegie Library of Pittsburgh, East Liberty neighborhood library serves one of the most economically and racially diverse populations in Pittsburgh. EDGE studio worked with the Carnegie Library of Pittsburgh (CLP) to fully renovate the existing 33,000 sf, 1967 facility and provide a 9,000 sf addition which facilitates a complete reorganization of library services. With adult, teen and children’s department collections and services, 4 meeting rooms, back of house offices and workrooms, and a high density storage space for 150,000 historic volumes known as the ‘Heritage Collection,’ along with growth space for central library operations, the facility was dramatically reshaped to improve the library’s ability to provide services.
