                    State Library Victoria Vision 2020 Redevelopment

                    Grand interior in State Library Victoria.
                    The Vision 2020 Redevelopment by Architectus and Schmidt Hammer Lassen has ensured that State Library Victoria will remain the epicentre for education, ideas, creativity and debate in the City of Melbourne for many years to come.

                    ​As Australia’s oldest and busiest public library, State Library Victoria attracts curious minds and serious researchers alike. 

                    Enlivening the library’s buildings and surrounding environment, the refurbishment has provided more diverse facilities for users and opportunities for tenants, creative practitioners and entrepreneurs. 

                    The transformation has increased public space and seating to create a space where everyone feels welcome and where memorable and meaningful connections between the collection, individuals and the community are fostered.
