The building is slated to be the "best public library in the world" and will have an area of about 31,000sq.m. The new library and theatre will be connected to the existing Birmingham Repertory Theatre, with which it will begin an extensive collaboration, making the site an international centre for knowledge, education and culture.
theateradvies bv is one of the team members and will work on the new theatre as well as the renovation of the existing Birmingham Repertory Theatre. The project is scheduled to be completed in 2013.
