DUBLIN CITY COUNCIL has appointed a contractor to deliver the capital’s new City Library, with construction to begin “in the coming weeks”.
Purcell Construction Limited will build the new library, which will be the first phase in the delivery of the new Parnell Square Cultural Quarter.
The council said the appointment “marks a major milestone in the delivery of one of the most significant civic and cultural projects undertaken in Dublin in recent decades”.
The new five-storey library will be located at Parnell Square North and replace the existing Central Library at the Ilac Centre. The 6,100 sq m building will have spaces for reading and lending, as well as studying, working, creating and performing.
