Multnomah County Library – Albina Library

Northeast Portland’s Albina Library has undergone major renovations and expansions as part of a bond-funded program to modernize and build new libraries in Multnomah County. Located in historically Black neighborhoods that have seen significant displacement, the designs for the renewed library facilities were developed in collaboration with the public and community partners during 75+ engagement sessions including large public events, focus groups, interviews with community leaders, and a youth design cohort. Albina Library: The project restores the original Carnegie-era library building and sensitively incorporates a new 30,000 sf addition. The addition features vibrant new programs such as a community room and garden courtyard, a teen center, and maker spaces, and houses the library’s main reading room and stacks. Made from glulam columns and beams manufactured regionally by Vaagen Timbers, the library’s exposed wood structure provides a feeling of warmth and connection to the Pacific Northwest landscape. The intimate scale of the existing building makes it an ideal location for the children’s area and related programming.
