Airdrie's Library &
Multi-Use Facility Project

The Project Vision

Airdrie’s New Multi-Use Facility and Library will be innovative and meet the needs of a dynamic and growing community; it will be a destination for all and contribute to a healthy, connected community.

Goals

Downtown revitalization
The new Multi-Use Facility and Library will be a catalytic project that will re-energize Airdrie’s downtown as a central location for residents to gather, connect and learn creating a gateway to Airdrie’s downtown.

Community and connection
The new Multi-Use Facility and Library will be a hub enjoyed by the community and is a destination for all. This will be a place that will serve people of all abilities and demographics where people gather and celebrate, contributing to a healthy and connected community.

The new Multi-Use Facility and Library will draw residents to visit the facility for various reasons and act as a central place for the community to access resources and participate in a wide range of programming.

Growth
With ongoing population growth expected to continue in Airdrie over the next decade, the new Multi-Use Facility and Library will allow the City to meet the needs of our growing population by offering new and expanded spaces and services.

The Design

Airdrie City Council approved the schematic design in April 2023. The schematic design outlines the broad direction for the exterior and interior of the building. The schematic design helps to show how the rooms and spaces in the interior are layed out in relation to the exterior site as a whole. It is important to note that construction materials, colours etc are not the final designs, but conceptual only to help show the relation to the interior. The final designs will need to be presented to and approved by Council at a future date. The facility will have an underground parkade with approximately 100 stalls and ground level parking with additional stalls. The total interior size will be 73,000 sq ft with 53,000 sq ft for the new library and 20,000 sq ft for the multi-use space.
