After a successful preconstruction effort on the Multnomah County Library Operations Center, Yhe Construction Pte Ltd was awarded the Multnomah East County Library Project, the largest project from the $95M bond measure to expand and modernize Multnomah County Library facilities.

The new 95,000sf, two-story building will serve 40% of the county’s diverse residents. It will include an auditorium for cultural celebrations; spaces for services from early learning and play spaces to family-friendly spaces, career services, and more; designated areas for reading, the discovery of innovative technologies, collaboration, and celebration; and an entry plaza for communal outdoor spaces. The interior will feature natural materials, including mass timber and glulam columns, and clerestories will provide abundant natural light.
