Nottingham Central Library is a state-of-the-art library where communities can meet, learn, embrace digital technologies and undertake a range of social, cultural and educational activities. Located in the historic Broadmarsh area, the library is a linchpin of the wider Broadmarsh regeneration project led by Nottingham City Council. The fit-out is situated within a civic, corner unit of the recently completed Broadmarsh Bus Interchange and can be entered from a newly pedestrianised streetscape. The library design encourages visitors to visually connect with this external green space and the historic city context beyond, as well as encouraging passers-by to engage with the diverse activities taking place internally to enhance participation. The interior design speaks of Nottingham and it’s people through a series of bespoke interventions, including a feature book wall, woven timber ceiling and children’s story-telling tree, that make reference to the city’s rich history in lacemaking, fashion design and literature.
