The City of Rotterdam has selected Powerhouse Company, Atelier Oslo, Lundhagem to renew and extend the city's Central Library, a landmark building from the early 1980s designed by Van den Broek & Bakema. The new design adopts the concept of radical reuse in order to transform a 1980s building into a contemporary library, well-adapted to the necessities of modern users. Construction is expected to begin in 2025 and be completed by the end of 2028, the year marking the building's 45th anniversary.
