Nottingham Central Library and its surrounding area

Nottingham?s new Central Library, located in the heart of the Broad Marsh regeneration area, is anticipated to open to the public?towards the end of this year?after the work to turn the building and surrounding areas into a modern, creative and community orientated space has been completed.

The Central Library, housed in part of the Broad Marsh Car Park and Bus Station complex, will be surrounded by transformed streets, with pedestrianized areas, green spaces, and seating for pedestrians to enjoy.

Plans are in place to pedestrianise Collin Street and create a new plaza that connects the library to Lister Gate and the city centre.
