Case Study:

Restoring Hoboken's Library

Limited space and parking and an aging historic building challenge the Hoboken Public Library to satisfy the increasing demand for public library services on the part of 40,000+ City residents.  A key component of the Hoboken Public Library’s strategic planning process was to explore how the Library’s historic facility could be restored and put to maximum use.

Ivy Library’s building consultant reviewed previous architectural studies and grant application, the results of the community needs assessment, conducted site visits, and prepared a report which will be used to seek financial support from the City for the proposed renovation.  The consulting team also made recommendations for a satellite location in a section of the City with a growing population of young families.

A functional and efficient library building is necessary for a library to effectively serve its patrons and carry out its mission.

Does your library need more space or a better utilization of current space? How much space is really needed? What are the pros and cons of expanding your current library building or building a new facility? Where should the building be located?

Ivy Library can assist with:

  • Library space planning and utilization;
  • Preparation of building program reports;
  • Expansion projects;
  • New building projects;
  • Site selection; and
  • Strategic planning for facilities.
