TechCentral Becomes a Reality

One of the Library’s greatest contributions in the battle to conquer the digital divide was the opening of TechCentral in the Lower Level of the Louis Stokes Wing of the Main Library. We talked about the many preparations being made for TechCentral in last year’s Report to the Community, but in June of 2012 TechCentral officially opened its doors to provide Cleveland Public Library with another “first”.

Robert Bostwick of Bostwick Design Partners, the contracted architect for the project who has years of experience in designing libraries across the country, described the uniqueness of the project best when he said, “We have seen many libraries throughout the various states, but we have never seen anything quite like TechCentral before. This is truly a unique concept that will likely set the precedent for a new direction in libraries.”
