la Bibliothèque Gabrielle-Roy

This glass-forward, majestically renovated library in the heart of a vibrant cultural and commercial district is home to a diverse community. The ground level links to a generous outdoor space, while inside on upper levels, the clear glass envelope of  SunGuard™ SN 68 on clear and unique gold ceiling draws you into the space centered on cinema, arts and travel. Users even have access to a music studio and practice rooms, a projection room, a fab lab and an arts workshop – plus an outdoor terrace. Upper levels prioritize learning and quiet reading of literature, history, philosophy, geography, science and technology. Texts are distributed around the skylit atrium which maximizes natural light and provides uplifting views.
