The architects and developers working on the new Brooklyn Heights Library branch at 280 Cadman Plaza West will discuss their progress tonight at a public meeting in the library’s auditorium. David Kramer of developer Hudson Companies will give an update on the project, which will include 132 market-rate units and a 21,000-square-foot library at its base. Hudson will also build 114 affordable units off site. Jonathan Marvel of Marvel Architects will discuss the library’s existing layout, and describe the design and programming process for the new branch. The process will be community driven, and anyone interested can keep track of the project through the library’s page. The meeting will take place tonight at 6:30 pm at 280 Cadman Plaza West.

Unlike some, I am a big fan of the new library… Though they are making a big mistake having the entrance to the condo located on Clinton. There is so much traffic on Clinton going to the bridge it is going to create a huge backup with cabs and delivery folks trying to stop there. Why not make the lobby and front door for the condo be located on Cadman Plaza West, where there is so much more room for cars to stop.
