Studio Contra has been commissioned by the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP) to design the Anambra Makerspace in Awka, housed within the historic Kenneth Dike Library. The project reimagines the library as a dynamic hub where knowledge, creativity, and technology converge.

The Makerspace will feature wood and metal workshops,  rapid prototyping and 3D printing labs, robotics and electronics labs, library extension - local archive, state library, and children's learning centre, textile and shoe manufacturing workshops, pitch garage and event spaces for investor-focused exhibitions, multipurpose auditorium for events, offices and general amenities

Currently at tender stage, the project reflects Studio Contra’s commitment to context-driven, future-oriented design that supports innovation, entrepreneurship, and cultural growth in Africa.
