Brooklyn Public Library, Sunset Park Branch honored with AIA NYS Excelsior Award

Mitchell Giurgola is honored to announce that the Brooklyn Public Library, Sunset Park Branch, was one of nine projects awarded the 2024 AIA NYS Excelsior Award. The Sunset Park Library Branch is one of the Brooklyn Public Library’s busiest locations, serving a community that includes many non-native English speakers, students, families, and seniors—with a space too small and outdated to adequately address the needs of its patrons, Brooklyn Public Library partnered with the Fifth Avenue Committee to develop a new, greatly expanded library and affordable housing site. The space is outfitted for the modern era, with the collections, technology, and flexible space needed to accommodate many uses and serve a large, diverse group of patrons.
