Wednesfiled Library open to the public

Wednesfield Community Library in Wolverhampton opened its doors to the public earlier this month.

The steel framed angular building was designed to be fun and exciting for people of all ages. Externally it has few straight lines and is timber clad, with coloured rendering, and zinc cladding to the roof.

The building is on three floors housing the library, offices and learning centre. I addition the building contains a Community Hall and Lounge and office space for the local Neighbourhood Team.

The building is fully accessible with two lifts, and disabled parking bays and it is incorporated within a newly opened pedestrian piazza with fountains, performance areas and seating areas.

Pat Jones the Project Officer at Wednesfield Library recently told Designing Libraries that they "are delighted with the results, and the library has had a huge increase in new members and users."
