EW Howell Attends Ribbon-Cutting Ceremony for Far Rockaway Library

On July 30, the Far Rockaway Library in Queens, NY, celebrated a milestone with a ribbon-cutting ceremony. EW Howell Construction Group, the library’s General Contractor, and the NYC Department of Design and Construction were part of this significant moment, showcasing a commitment to the project alongside Queens Library, dignitaries, and the community.

The new Far Rockaway Library offers various amenities, including a circulation and information center, meeting rooms, a business center, and dedicated sections for children, teens, and adults. Noteworthy for its architectural design by Snøhetta, the library’s façade boasts a unique parallelogram curtainwall system with intricate color gradient fritted glass. In April, the project earned LEED Silver certification, recognizing its sustainable construction practices.

Attending the ribbon-cutting ceremony was truly exciting. We look forward to the positive impact the Far Rockaway Library will have on the community and are eager for the opportunities this space will bring to enrich the lives of many.
