Glasgow Women’s Library
Part of the ongoing regeneration of Glasgow’s East End, Glasgow Women’s Library is an outstanding refurbishment of the B-listed former Bridgeton Library.
The refurbishment sensitively transformed and opened up the historic building so the library could host a range of cultural activities.
A modern mezzanine floor provides a tranquil reading area that can accommodate group meeting, and the upper floor is now fully accessible from a modern lift structure appended to the gable of the building.
