This project included a major 17,000 sq.ft addition to the existing Markham Public Library.

The initial public consultation phase included over 19 different stakeholder groups and engaged the entire community in a series of public meetings. The library design was then developed within this framework.

The ground floor browsing, media, and new material area features a combination of mobile display units and over 120 feet of power wall.

The Living Room and gathering area on the second floor includes a fireplace, cappuccino serving area, and mobile furniture to facilitate gatherings and events.
