Harwich Library will receive an exciting refurbishment with upgraded facilities.
The refurbishment will include a larger mezzanine floor with two new adult community learning classrooms.
These will be able to support 40 learners from Adult Community Learning Essex (ACL Essex).
New community spaces will be available for residents. These could be used for meetings, workshops and collaborative projects.
Harwich Library's transformation is part of the Dovercourt Capital Regeneration Projects. We are delivering this with Tendring District Council.
As well as the Harwich Library refurbishment, the project will improve the highway between Dovercourt Station and the seafront. Milton Road car park and derelict land in Victoria Street will also be developed.
The Harwich Library refurbishment will start in September 2024. It is expected to finish in early summer 2025.
In the meantime, the library will relocate to Harwich Arts and Heritage Centre, in Main Road, from Thursday 26 September 2024.
