The building currently housing the Northside Branch will be demolished, and a new building will be constructed in its place. Work is expected to begin in 2015 and be completed in 2016. CML intends to identify a temporary location to serve Northside Branch customers during construction. The current Northside Branch, located at 1423 N.

NBBJ creates innovative places and experiences for organizations worldwide, and designs communities, buildings and environments that enhance people's lives. Founded in 1943, NBBJ is an industry leader in healthcare and corporate facilities and has a strong presence in the commercial, civic, science, education and sports markets.
