PHOTOS: Metro Centre Construction Continues

As the Owings Mills library opened its doors on Thursday, the area outside of Baltimore County's largest public library was buzzing with activity.

Construction workers were laying brick in the plaza outside the building, finishing up windows in buildings that will house apartments and retail and moving dirt to make way for a parking garage.

When fully developed, the Metro Centre at Owings Mills will include 1.2 million square feet of office space, 300,000 square feet of retail space, 1,700 apartments, a 120,000-square foot community college and library building, and hotels with up to 250 rooms.
