The more I look at it the less I like the interior. It looks very dated. Like they tried to do the wood atrium thing in the Calgary library's central lobby but just applied it to a 90's design. Also the support columns holding up the ceiling remind me of an airport. Feels very mediocre for a 'signature' library.
