The Carnegie Building is the current home of Peterhead Library and the existing Arbuthnot Museum.As part of the ambition to develop a culturalquarter in Peterhead, the project aims to restore and refurbish this much-loved Peterhead landmark.
Built in the 1890’s and associated with the legacy of Andrew Carnegie, the Carnegie Building is CategoryC listed with around 800 square meters of space over four floors including the iconic clock tower.
As part of the development of a cultural quarter in Peterhead,the Library and Museum will be moving to a new home at a refurbished and extended Arbuthnot House. Their former home will be refurbished and brought back into use as a cultural space.
The project will sensitively restore this historic building while adding the essential upgrades it needs to function as a modern, accessible venue to be operated by a cultural organisation or business.
Peterhead Library will move to a temporary new location during the construction of the new library and Museum of Aberdeenshire centred around Arbuthnot House on Broad Street which is being funded by the UK Government and other external funding sources.
The library’s relocation will enable us to make improvements to the Carnegie Building on St Peter Street ahead of a new operator taking on the running of the facility as a major new arts and cultural venue for Peterhead.
