Mac library voted best design
The Hamilton Spectator
(Dec 13, 2007)
The people have spoken.
The winner, by popular vote, of the City of Hamilton's Urban Design and Architecture People's Choice award is McMaster University's faculty of health sciences library. The award was presented at city council last night.
The project was selected through votes cast for each of eight award winning projects previously chosen by a jury of volunteer experts for honours in various categories.
The library project, by architect Joanne McCallum, of McCallum Sather Architects Inc., was chosen initially as winner of the award of excellence for architecture.
At the time, McCallum described the library as "a beautiful glass box" inserted into concrete walls of the medical centre. All the glass provides a link between medical students and the world around them.
