New Regional library of approx 2,500m2 incorporating a café, exhibition area, large auditorium youth library, and business services centre. The new building links to the heritage school of arts building which is to be upgraded as Council offices and to the existing library building, which will be returned as stack. Together with our Graphic Design Team, BHA developed a river theme, incorporating Rockhampton's high flood mark by hanging bright red buoys at the water level and the quintessential "river tinny" from the roof. In keeping with the local theme, a feature of the library is the "faces" wall, which incorporated images of significant writers who originate from the region. (There have been quite a few well-known names!) The wall creates a historical feature, one that the region is very proud to share.
