Paignton Community Library

Project Investment: £6,333,000

Completion Date: August 2010

Partners: Torbay Council, Big Lottery Fund

Work has started on Paignton's new library and community centre in Station Lane.The two storey, 2,245 square metre building is scheduled for completion in August 2010.

The building will provide a new state-of –the art library to replace the existing facility in Courtland Road.

The project has been funded by the Big Lottery Fund and Torbay Council and will incorporate centralised facilities for a number of agencies including community police, Connections, adult and community learning as well as office accommodation for SureStart

Prior to the commencement of construction the site had been used as a long stay car park, however the new building has been designed to reflect the earlier history of the site when it was used as a railway and goods yard.

Construction on the new Paignton Community Library is now well underway. The period leading up to Christmas will not deliver substantial visual progress above the hoarding, because attention is being given to the internal structure. However by February the building should incorporate windows and significant external cladding. 

Although the project is now visible to those passing on great Western road it is also possible to view the emerging construction from road level.

the main contractors, BAM, have provided portholes onto the hoarding,which has enabled pedestrians to view the project taking shape.
