After 4 years of planning and design work, we are pleased to
announce that the new Hudson Area Library (HAL) will be opening on April
8, 2016. Kimberly Bolan and Associates (KBA) began work with the HAL staff
and board of trustees in 2011; developing the vision and building program for
the new library. KBA continued working with the library team throughout
2013-2016 providing technology consulting as well as interior design services
including the selection of all furniture and related finishes.
The new 12,000 SF library will reside in the first floor of the historic Hudson Armory, owned by The Galvan Foundation. The main areas of the library will occupy what was formerly the Drill Shed. In addition, the former 1,200 SF Officers Lounge has been converted into a Community Meeting Room seating over 80. With state-of-the art technology, expanded space and services for children, teens, and adults, increased operating hours, a larger collection, an accessible home for its historical collection, and a flexible and open floor plan, the new library will become the community’s gathering place. The Community Room will be the stage for world renowned and local authors, artists, performers and musicians to engage diverse communities in Hudson.
