We are honored to see Greenpoint Library featured in Karrie Jacobs’ New York Times piece on public libraries. Throughout the article, Karrie discusses the transformation of public libraries into community-centric hubs throughout, and often facilitated by the pandemic. Greenpoint Library was noted for its integration of unique features and spaces that allow the community a hands-on approach to environmental education.
Greenpoint Library and Environmental Education Center was featured in a recent posting by ArchDaily. The piece underscores Greenpoint Library as a community hub for environmental awareness, education, and activism in the Greenpoint Community, and a unique asset to the Brooklyn Public Library System.
We are proud to share that our Greenpoint Library and Environmental Education Center has been nominated for the Mies Crown Hall Americas Prize.

Published on March 21st, the piece showcases the library among various other recently completed architectural projects. “The feature provides background information on the project and offers insights into some of the main ideas that influenced the design of the building, the relationship between the library’s design and its site, and the unique products and materials used throughout” We are thankful for the recognition and pleased to share the story of this community hub on a global platform.
