Martin Luther King Jr. Memorial Library

Washington, D.C., USA

2022 AIA/ALA Library Building Award

The Martin Luther King Jr. Memorial Library has been awarded a 2022 AIA/ALA Library Building Award. A partnership between the American Institute of Architects (AIA) and the American Library Association (ALA)/Library Leadership and Management Association, this is the only award that recognizes entire library structures and all aspects of their design.

Originally constructed in 1972 and listed on the National Register of Historic Places, this flagship library is the only building within the United States’ capital designed by Ludwig Mies van der Rohe.

Silman, A TYLin Company, recently provided structural engineering services for upgrades and modifications as part of a three-year, $211 million modernization. Silman engineers worked closely with Mecanoo, OTJ Architects, and other members of the design team to bring this project to fruition.

In deliberate contrast with the original building’s disciplined steel grid, new elements such as monumental helix stairs and a landscaped roof terrace are characterized by softer, curvilinear forms. A new double-height reading room and a 290-seat auditorium both required significant removal of existing framing.

Located in Washington, D.C.’s central Penn Quarter neighborhood, the project represents a high point in a years-long effort to revitalize more than 20 of the city’s public libraries. The reopened building stands as an enduring monument for both modernist architecture and the civil rights movement.
