曼哈顿中区图书馆

纽约公共图书馆的市中心改造将加强和统一整个城市图书馆系统的全方位服务，从流通和研究服务到面向所有年龄段的商业资源和教育计划。 

The New York Public Library’s Midtown renovation will enhance and unite the full spectrum of offerings available across the Library system, from circulating and research services to business resources and educational programs for all ages.

曼哈顿中区图书馆是纽约公共图书馆中使用最频繁的一个，它将经历一场变革，变成一个新的、最先进的图书馆，并成为复兴图书馆系统的模型和催化剂。Mecanoo和Beyer Blinder Belle的团队工作了一年多，分析了图书馆的使用数据，采访了工作人员，调查了公众，并与社区利益相关者进行了会面，以确保新图书馆能够最好地满足读者的需求。

Mid-Manhattan Library – the Library’s most heavily used circulating branch – is set to undergo a transformation that will create a new, state-of-the-art library that will serve as both a model and catalyst for a rejuvenated library system. The team of Mecanoo and Beyer Blinder Belle worked for over a year analysing library usage data, interviewing staff, surveying the public, and meeting with community stakeholders to ensure that the new branch will best meet the needs of library patrons.

翻新后的图书馆将有一个引人注目的多层书架墙——长房间；一个占据一层楼的就业技能中心，它为相近的楼层提供求职帮助和小企业支持；一层专用于儿童的图书馆和一个单独的青少年图书馆；以及市中心唯一一个免费的公共屋顶露台。 

The renovated branch will have a dramatic, multi-story wall of bookshelves – the Long Room; an employment skills centre occupying a full floor as well as an adjacent floor providing job-search help and small-business support; a full-floor dedicated to a library for children and a separate library for teens; additional seating; and one of the only free public roof terraces in Midtown.

第五大道正门。 该分支机构每年接受约170万次访问，每年分发约200万个项目。

Main entrance on the 5th Avenue. The branch receives approximately 1.7 million visits annually and circulates approximately 2 million items each year.

纽约公共图书馆发布的示意图设计，让人们对市中心分馆在完成内部装修（计划于2018年开始）后的面貌有了初步的了解。

改造前：该项目在曼哈顿市中心改造中占了很大比重，该建筑最初是为一家于1970年代开业的百货公司设计的。

Before: The project is much-needed at Mid-Manhattan, which opened in the 1970s in a space originally designed for a department store.

改造后：曼哈顿中部图书馆建筑物上的铜屋顶添加物参考了周围的建筑物。

After: The copper rooftop addition on the Mid-Manhattan Library building references the surrounding buildings in its materiality.

现有情况：Stephen A. Schwarzman大楼与曼哈顿中城图书馆大楼的视觉联系。
