Manchester Public Library Net-Zero Energy Project

under construction

The project involves constructing a new 75,000-square-foot public library in Manchester, Connecticut, which will be the first net-zero energy public library in the state. The library will feature advanced solar arrays, battery storage, and geothermal heating and cooling systems to produce carbon-friendly energy without straining the grid. It will include modern amenities such as a makerspace, private study rooms, an audio-visual studio, and improved facilities compared to the old library building.
