Congress Heights Library Virtual Design Reveal Meeting

A first look at the initial designs for your new library!

Get a first peek of the initial designs for your new library in Congress Heights and provide direct feedback to the Design-Build Team at this virtual community meeting!

DC Public Library is currently in the design process for a fully funded new library in Congress Heights with the design-build team Perkins + Will Architects and Turner Construction. The new full-service, 20,000-square-foot plus library will be built next to the Congress Heights Metro Station at 1290 Alabama Ave SE. This library will replace the store-front Parklands-Turner Library, located at 1547 Alabama Ave. SE.

At the Virtual Design Reveal Meeting, you will have a chance to get a first look at how the input gathered through surveys and community meetings has shaped the initial designs of this new library. You will also have a chance to give direct feedback to the design-build team so you can see how the design of the Congress Heights Library is continually evolving to serve you. Join the virtual meeting using the link and/or phone number below. Please note that if you join using the phone number you will only be able to hear the discussion, you will not be able to see the designs. We look forward to seeing you there - your participation is essential to help us ensure your new library is a reflection of you and your neighbors!
