Living on the western side of Centretown, I'm mostly okay with this site, provided it yields a truly stunning space. I really hope we make it an international competition for the library design and have architects of Schmidt's caliber submitting proposals (the Halifax library, and his upcoming work on the Shanghai library shown below look incredible). If this turns into another blah-looking Ottawa institution, I feel like I'm going to have to finally give up on Ottawa.
