哈利法克斯中央圖書館是哈利法克斯新一代公共建筑中最重要的一個(gè)，并代表了不同的社區(qū)、人才和在整個(gè)直轄市居民的創(chuàng)造力，并展現(xiàn)給全世界。

新圖書館是一個(gè)多功能的文化中心，可以直接進(jìn)入周邊充滿新舊建筑的朝氣蓬勃的城市環(huán)境以及鬧市。

圖書館的建造基本是把相鄰的四個(gè)立方體垂直放置，水平扭曲并轉(zhuǎn)向正面對(duì)齊。一些獨(dú)特的懸臂和一個(gè)更大的，具有標(biāo)志性的大懸臂元素共同創(chuàng)建一個(gè)龐大的形象，而其他墻面與鄰近的達(dá)爾豪西大學(xué)建筑學(xué)院的古典建筑的墻面整齊劃一。在大樓頂層的哈利法克斯客廳有一個(gè)開(kāi)放的綠色屋頂露臺(tái)。在這里，可以看到哈利法克斯港、城堡山、歷史悠久的喬治島、達(dá)特茅斯和以及延伸到北大西洋的麥克納布群島等獨(dú)特景致。

該項(xiàng)目獲得了美國(guó)LEED綠色建筑金級(jí)認(rèn)證。此外，大樓的外墻是為了反映該地的歷史。這曾經(jīng)是中央地方“花園”，也是市中心顯著的綠地。

The new Halifax Central Library is the most significant public building built in Hali-fax in a generation, and represents the diverse communities, talents, and creativity of the residents of Halifax throughout the municipality and present this to the world.

The new library is a multifunctional cultural hub with direct accessibility to the vibrant surrounding urban context of historic and new buildings, and the buzz of downtown.

The construction of the library is essentially cubic in form with four significant 'volumes' vertically placed on top of one another with a horizontally twisted and shifted facade alignment. A number of distinctive cantilevers and one signature larger cantilevered element create a voluminous expression whereas the remaining fa?ades align elegantly with the neighbouring fa?ade of the classic architecture of Dalhousie University’s Architecture School. From the top of the building - the Halifax Living Room - there is access to an open green roof terrace providing a unique view towards Halifax Harbour, Citadel Hill, the historic George’s Island, Dartmouth and onto McNabs Islands that reaches out towards the North Atlantic Ocean.

The project is aiming ambitiously towards a LEED Gold certification. The fa?ade of the building is intended to reflect the local history of the site which was once a central local 'garden' and significant green space within the heart of the city.
