EPM Library

EPM Library, Educational library in downtown Medellín, Colombia

The EPM Library is a modern pyramid-shaped building on Plaza de Cisneros in Medellín, designed by architect Felipe Uribe de Bedout. Its four levels and a semi-basement are arranged from general to specialized knowledge, with marble floors and walls of marble, wood, and glass. The 10,000 m² building includes reading rooms, a cinema, auditoriums, and a children's room.

The library opened on June 2, 2005, as an initiative by Empresas Públicas de Medellín to support education and cultural development in the city. Since then, it has developed into an important facility promoting knowledge in technological and scientific fields.

The building is laid out as a "pyramid of knowledge": the lower floors hold general material and the upper levels the specialized collections on science, industry, environment and technology. The children's room runs science seedbeds and experimentation workshops, and the 80-seat cinemateca hosts film cycles and forums.

The facility is accessible during regular opening hours with ample space for studying, research, and participation in events. Visitors should allow flexible time to explore different areas, especially when group activities or demonstrations are taking place.

The building's marble, wood and glass walls follow a "knowledge pyramid": general material on the lower floors, specialised material above, across four levels and a semi-basement. Architect Felipe Uribe de Bedout covered the metal roof base with drywall. The study balcony on level 2 has 40 seats facing the Plaza de Cisneros.
