Great news for the Ottawa Public Library – Library and Archives Canada Joint Facility! A few weeks ago, in its Fall Economic Statement, the Government of Canada announced that it will provide funding that will support sustainability enhancements for a net zero carbon facility.

This funding will result in significant enhancements to the facility including:

  • upgraded building exterior and insulation;
  • triple-glazed windows;
  • solar panels on the building rooftop and imbedded in the building facade;
  • more sustainable building materials;
  • and a green wall on the interior of the facility.

The three project partners, Ottawa Public Library, Library and Archives Canada, and the City of Ottawa are proud that the joint facility will be an environmental leader and showcase of sustainable infrastructure design in Ottawa and across the country.
