Checking In On The BPL Plaza Renovation
The plaza renovation (done in tandem with the creation of a new auditorium) at the Brooklyn Public Library is moving along. Designed by Vincent Benic Architects, the new plaza will provide better access for baby strollers and wheelchairs; it's also bound to become a mecca for laptops users, given the free wifi network that will be provided. The big question: Will the plaza be open by the Fall as scheduled?
Comments
Looks like it'll be very nice. I hope it makes the whole plaza/rotary area more welcoming.

The umbrellas and chairs (a la Bryant Park) seem to indicate al fresco dining.
Anyone know if that's just an especially artistic aspect of the artist's rendering, or is there actually a planned "Cafe BPL" in our future?

Alec Baldwin asks for his voice to be removed from an "unfair" documentary about Arnold Schwarzenegger...
