Marrickville Library and Pavilion was the recipient of the greatly anticipated National Trust 2020 Judges’ Choice Award – Adaptive Reuse. It has a remarkable history and both the exterior and interior are architecturally significant. To quote Mayor Darcy Byrne (Inner West Council) “This beautiful public facility is more than a Library; it is a new town square for Marrickville”. The building integrates contemporary design and technology with the original, conserved heritage elements of the main hospital building. It is uncompromising with regards to sustainability, with recycled elements wherever possible and clever design features that reduce energy consumption.
Don’t miss out on this special Art & Culture event. Book early as numbers are restricted to 15 members.
Marrickville Library is situated on land that was home to the Gadigal and Wangal Peoples of the Eora Nation.
