New Building
In 1986, a new, larger location began to be built for the library, between PiaĊ£a Unirii and Nerva Traian. Shortly after 1989, although some parts of the building are finished or in an advanced state, due to lack of funding, the construction had stalled until recent years. In 2009 the project was reassigned to the Ministry of Culture, which completed the construction in 2011 and set the official opening date to take place in 2012.

Famous quotes containing the word building:

“Our civilization is characterized by the word “progress.” Progress is its form rather than making progress being one of its features. Typically it constructs. It is occupied with building an ever more complicated structure. And even clarity is sought only as a means to this end, not as an end in itself. For me on the contrary clarity, perspicuity are valuable in themselves.”
—Ludwig Wittgenstein (1889–1951)
