The Harvard Club of New York Library - The Chapman Youth Library at the Bronx YMCA

Bronx, New York USA

The YMCA at Castle Hill is located in the Bronx. This facility sits along the shores of Westchester Creek and is a popular destination for the community.

BDG was selected by The Chapman Perelman Foundation and the Harvard Club of New York, to collaborate with the Leaders of the YMCA to create a Library. 

The new library makes use of an existing recreational facility to create a new accessible entry to the building where the new Library and Learning Resource Center is located.  This YMCA Center located within all the boroughs of New York City has long served as a place where children and adults can find recreation, guidance, and support.

A secondary goal of this project was to create a Library prototype, that once completed and tested, can be installed within all of the YMCA Centers of New York City.
