Eastern Parkway Library Expansion Breaks Ground In Crown Heights, Brooklyn
Construction is underway on the $36 million renovation and expansion of the Eastern Parkway Library, a two-story Classical Revival Carnegie library at 1044 Eastern Parkway in Crown Heights, Brooklyn. Designed by Allied Works and managed by the New York City Department of Design and Construction for Brooklyn Public Library, the project will expand the 12,250-square-foot branch’s public space by more than 50 percent and add a 13,400-square-foot, three-story wing along Schenectady Avenue. The project will also include a renovated courtyard with outdoor seating, a third-floor reading terrace surrounded by greenery, and a permanent home for the branch’s Adult Learning Center.
