About the New Central Library:
More than 500,000 customers utilize the resources at the Faulk Central Library each year. However, the current facility cannot be expanded to accommodate Austin’s population growth. In November of 2006 voters approved a bond to construct a new Central Library to replace the 110,000 square foot John Henry Faulk Central Library that was built in 1979. On December 11, 2008 the Austin City Council selected the Joint Venture of Lake | Flato Architects and Shepley Bulfinch Richardson and Abbott to design our city’s New Central Library. On December 9, 2010, the Austin City Council approved an Architectural Building Program and a funding plan of $120 million for the New Central Library. On October 20, 2011, Council approved the Schematic Design (30% complete design) for Austin’s new main library. Now this landmark project for our community has successfully reached the end of the Design Development Phase (60% complete design) of the architectural development process.
