    PRESS RELEASE Wednesday, Sept. 24, 2014 CONTACTS: Gregg Dodd, Marketing Director Columbus Metropolitan Library (614) 849-1043 office, (614) 205-7816 cell [email protected] www.columbuslibrary.org Ben Zenitsky, Marketing & Communications Specialist Columbus Metropolitan Library (614) 849-1045 office, (614) 315-3766 cell [email protected] www.columbuslibrary.org Library Board approves architect for major building project COLUMBUS—Columbus Metropolitan Library’s (CML) Board of Trustees today unanimously approved the selection of NBBJ as the architect for the design of the new Northside Branch. 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. High St., was constructed in 1990 and has 7,728 square feet of space. The new branch is expected to be more than triple in size, with approximately 27,000 square feet once completed. NBBJ was previously hired to design CML’s new Driving Park Branch, which opened to the public on July 12, and its new Dublin Branch, expected to open in 2016. 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. It has won numerous awards and has been recognized as one of the “greenest” architecture firms in the U.S.

    Renowned Architecture and Design Firm NBBJ Joins New Cities Foundation Paris, France and Seattle, WA – Wednesday, January 8, 2014. The New Cities Foundation today announced that global architecture and design firm NBBJ has joined its network of international members. NBBJ is the first architecture and design firm to join the New Cities Foundation, an international non-profit organization dedicated to building better cities. With its 70-year history of innovation in architecture, design and planning, NBBJ will support the New Cities Foundation in its mission to incubate, promote and scale urban innovations. Over the past five years, NBBJ has extended its design practice into new cities, opening studios in Shanghai and Pune, India, and significantly expanding client collaborations in Asia, Southeast Asia, the Middle East and Russia, while doubling the volume of work in key U.S. cities such as Boston, New York, Los Angeles and San Francisco. John Rossant, Chairman and Founder of the New Cities Foundation, said: “Having NBBJ on board is fantastic news for us as we expand the work we do in shaping better cities of the future. Together with NBBJ, we’ll build stronger ties between the architecture and design community and urban leaders and thinkers from many other fields. This new collaboration will also boost our understanding of the role of the built environment within the increasingly connected systems of today’s cities, allowing us to plan projects and test solutions to ensure that our cities remain efficient, vibrant and inspiring places to live, work and play.” Steve McConnell, Managing Partner of NBBJ, said: “The majority of humans now live in urban areas, with many cities experiencing unprecedented rates of growth.
