Birmingham City Council looked into relocating the library for many years. The original plan was to build a new library in the emerging Eastside district, which had been opened up to the city centre following the demolition of Masshouse Circus. A library was designed by Richard Rogers on a site in the area. However, for financial reasons and reservations about the location this plan was shelved. The Council suggested that the Library be split between a new building built between the Rep Theatre and Baskerville House at Centenary Square, which until 2009 was a public car park (to house the main lending library) and a building at Millennium Point in “Eastside” (to house the archives and special collections).
In August 2006, the Council confirmed the area between the Rep Theatre and Baskerville House as the future site for the library. Capita Symonds had been appointed as Project Managers for the Library of Birmingham. The council’s intention was to create a “world class” landmark civic building in Centenary Square. Not long after this, the two-sites idea was scrapped and the archives and special collections will move to the site at Centenary Square.
After an international design competition, run by the Royal Institute of British Architects, a shortlist of seven architects was announced on 27 March 2008. They were chosen from a list of over 100 architects. The architects chosen were: Foreign Office Architects, Foster and Partners, Hopkins Architects, Mecanoo, OMA, Schmidt hammer lassen and Wilkinson Eyre.
In early August 2008, Mecanoo and multi-discipline engineers, Buro Happold, were announced as the winner of the design competition. More detailed plans for the library were revealed by the council in conjunction with the architects at a launch event held on 2 April 2009.
The previous Central Library failed for the second time to gain status as a listed building. Work was scheduled to begin on demolishing the old library early in 2015 to make way for the redevelopment of Paradise Circus.
伯明翰市議會考慮將圖書館搬遷多年。最初的計劃是在新興的Eastside區建立一個新的圖書館，在拆除Masshouse Circus之後，該圖書館已經向市中心開放。圖書館由理查德羅傑斯在該地區的一個網站上設計。但是，由於經濟原因和對該地點的保留，該計劃被擱置。理事會建議將圖書館分為在Rep劇院和百年廣場Baskerville House之間建造的新建築，直到2009年是一個公共停車場（用於容納主要藉貸圖書館）和位於“Eastside”的千禧點的建築物。 （收藏檔案和特藏）。
2006年8月，理事會確認了Rep劇院和Baskerville House之間的區域作為圖書館的未來場地。 Capita Symonds被任命為伯明翰圖書館的項目經理。該委員會的目的是在百年廣場（Centenary Square）建造一座“世界級”地標公民建築。在此之後不久，這兩個網站的想法被廢棄，檔案和特別收藏品將搬到Centenary Square的網站。
在由英國皇家建築師學會舉辦的國際設計競賽之後，2008年3月27日宣布了七位建築師的候選名單。他們是從100多位建築師的名單中選出的。選擇的建築師是：外國辦公室建築師，福斯特和合夥人，霍普金斯建築師，Mecanoo，OMA，施密特錘拉森和威爾金森艾爾。
2008年8月初，Mecanoo和多學科工程師Buro Happold被宣佈為設計競賽的獲勝者。在2009年4月2日舉行的發布會上，理事會與建築師一起揭示了更為詳細的圖書館計劃。
之前的中央圖書館第二次失敗，無法獲得上市建築的地位。計劃於2015年初開始拆除舊圖書館的工作，為天堂馬戲團的重建開闢道路。
Construction
Preparation of the ground for building, and archaeological work between Baskerville House and The Rep had begun before planning permission had been granted. Planning permission was finally granted and approved by Birmingham City Council in December 2009. Building work, which was undertaken by Carillion, commenced in January 2010, with a completion schedule for 3 September 2013.A topping out ceremony to mark the completion of the highest part of the building took place on 14 September 2011.
施工
在獲得規劃許可之前，Baskerville House和The Rep之間的建築和考古工作的準備工作已經開始。 規劃許可最終於2009年12月由伯明翰市議會批准和批准。由Carillion承建的建築工程於2010年1月開始，完工時間表為2013年9月3日。一個頂級儀式標誌著最高部分的完工 該建築物於2011年9月14日進行。
