Dudley Branch Library
Boston Public Libraries

Roxbury, MA

The Dudley Branch Library renovation strengthens one of Roxbury’s most important civic anchors, transforming the branch into a more welcoming, flexible, and accessible resource for the neighborhood.

Samiotes provided civil engineering and site permitting services to support the library’s addition and comprehensive interior/exterior renovations. Working closely with the design team and the City of Boston, Samiotes delivered solutions that modernize the site while ensuring long-term functionality and permitting compliance.

Expanding Access Through Community-Centered Design

Samiotes’ role included:

• The design of all civil site elements to support the new addition and upgraded exterior program

• Coordination of full City of Boston permitting, including BWSC and Public Improvement Commission approvals

• Improving site accessibility and circulation to better serve library visitors

• Supporting the grading, utility connections, and stormwater requirements related to the expanded facility

​

Through thoughtful engineering and permitting strategy, the project strengthens a vital community institution and enhances the library’s ability to serve future generations.
