Calgary Central Library
The Calgary Central Library is located in the Downtown East Village neighbourhood and opened on November 1, 2018, replacing an earlier central branch built in the 1960s in Downtown Calgary.
The four-storey building cost CA$245 million to construct and was designed by American-Norwegian architecture firm Snøhetta and Canadian firm DIALOG after the two firms' joint bid won a design competition in 2013. Their design features an oval-like form and an interior with a large central atrium with a skylight. The building is elevated one floor above street level to accommodate a Calgary light rail trackway below, as well as a public plaza.
