The library has two stories at the main entrance, stepping up to three-stories on the river frontage. It extends out over the wide expanse of the river and was conceived as a bridge linking the town that had been divided by the river for hundreds of years. The library links the parkland setting with the river and the city beyond.
A square in front of the library creates a new urban ‘room’ which can host a range of civic activities. In this way the Library establishes a north-south axis north/south, making a strong, legible connection between the historical part of town and the new urban development area.
