Details

Designed by Piers Gough of CZWG Architects, the Canada Water Library opened on 28 November 2011. The iconic building is part of a regeneration project which will also see the development of a new civic plaza in which the library stands. Culture Space is at ground floor level, beneath the main body of the library. The auditorium is an uneven pentagon, with raked bench seating on two sides, and a flat floored performance space. Further details to follow.
