The iconic building opened in 1999, and was built to fit with the original library building from 1906.

More than 1,000 students, Copenhageners, tourists and other curious people visit The Black Diamond every day and make use of the library, cultural activities, café, shop and meeting rooms.

The Black Diamond is wheelchair and reduced mobility accessible.
