I agree, the city really cheaped out on the library and it shows. Its unfortunate because it is such a prominent location. The new libraries in Calgary and Ottawa, both btw similar sized cities, puts ours to shame.

On a more positive note the cladding here does look nice.

This reno wasn't cheap, don't kid yourself - it was the blueprints aka architecture that shit the bed

Whatever was spent, it ended up looking up cheap, so somewhere effort or resources were lacking.

Zinc panels are far from cheap (Library); I haven't compared, but they are likely more expensive than the copper on the Velo

It is just unfortunate that the exterior design couldn't have been a bit more creative. Problem too is they decided to still use the original structure. But at least the interior is very nice.

The true Edmonton story. Nice on the inside, who cares about the outside as we have a river.

T-Mobile Arena in Vegas vibes. I like it.

Love how it gleams in the sun. Panels have texture to them, too!

This project is really starting to make an impact. Noticed quite a few people walking from the Science centre and having a look. And of all the projects I am working on, the one I don't have anything to do with is the one my wife likes the most. It appears the majority of this cladding is complete and they are doing the flashing now.
