New Library Plans, Home Sales, Featured Listings and Weekend Open Houses

Scarsdale Village Trustees received an update on plans for the renovation and expansion of Scarsdale Library from Daniel Heuberger of Dattner Architects on Tuesday night October 24. Heuberger provided a virtual walk through of the design plans for the library renovation, reviewing siting, materials, user flow, interior design, furniture, and the layout of the new addition. He explained uses of the new spaces including a café, conference rooms, and a technology center that can be used when the library is open or after hours as a community meeting space.

The presentation included detailed elevations and renderings so that residents could easily visualize the look and feel of the renovated space. There will be conference rooms with state of the art presentation technology and retractable walls so that they can be combined into a larger space if needed.

The library will be surrounded with two walls of windows to let light into the space. A bright, light filled reading gallery will look out on the pond and the trees. There will be soft seating, periodicals and tables for collaborative work.

The children's area will also be renovated with new seating and kid friendly access to materials. A children's program room will be added for kids events and programming.

The building will be handicapped accessible on all levels and it will be brought up to current energy code with insulation, new windows and fireproofing. See more here:

Dattner Architects was one of the five firms that competed to be architects of record for the Scarsdale School District and design the Greenacres School. They were not selected and instead the district retained architects BBS.

Also at the meeting Assistant Village Manager Ingrid Richards announced that the Village has received a $500,000 grant from the NYS Dormitory Authority to renovate the Supply Field building as a temporary home for Scarsdale Library while the main library is under renovation.
