Toronto-based Diamond Schmitt Architects unveils Ottawa Library and Archives design
Designed by Diamond Schmitt Architects and KWC Architects, the Ottawa Public Library and Library and Archives Canada Joint Facility (OPL-LAC) combines the resources of two institutions to create an environment for discovery, learning, and fellowship. “This coming together of library and archives advances the evolution of centres of knowledge and culture and presents new opportunities to access a rich and diverse national collection,” said Gary McCluskie, Principal, Diamond Schmitt Architects in a statement.
