WASHINGTON, DC—The latest designs for the Carnegie Library redevelopment seem to address issues raised by the Historic Preservation Review Board as well as the National Planning Commission.
Newly released renderings now address concerns from the HPRB that the proposed glass structure of the library hid too much of the rear library, according to the Washington Business Journal.
Events D.C. is looking to redevelop the library in conjunction with the International Spy Museum. The museum intends to relocate to an expanded lower level of the library, while the new D.C. Visitors Center will occupy the other pavilion.
The other key issue raised by the HPRB and the National Planning Commission was the loss of green space around the library. The new drawings show the plans now, if adopted, would add approximately 1,000 square feet of green space at the library. See story at the Washington Business Journal.
