GLEN RIDGE LIBRARY ADDITION Owner Glen Ridge Library Project Location Glen Ridge, NJ Project Square Footage 4,600 sf Addition The Glen Ridge Library was in need of ad- ditional space and the adjacent municipal building required handicap accessibility. The project consists of new building addition be- tween two historic buildings in the Borough of Glen Ridge, New Jersey. The existing Glen Ridge Municipal Building and Public Library were built in the early 1900’s and are his- torically designated. the Musial Group was charged with introducing a connecting link between the two buildings and blend in with the existing appearance. The project also in- cludes handicapped access to the new and existing spaces. We were able to accomplish this with a new elevator in the addition and a handicapped lift at the library reading loft. The exterior materials were selected to match the existing brick and stone finishes, and the clay roof tiles blend in with the existing library roof. The project was reviewed and approved by the State of New Jersey Department of Envi- ronmental Protection & Energy, Natural & His- toric Resources, Division of Parks & Forestry as well as the Office of New Jersey Heritage.
