About our Building
| Architectural features | The Library building was designed by
John Bright & Associates of Gladstone. The unique wave shape of the Library's roofline locates the building well within the nautical theme of the surrounding Gladstone Marina. Designed to take advantage of the landscaped gardens and scenic views of the nearby creek, one side of the Library consists of floor to ceiling windows. The interior is completely open plan with a brushed aluminium arching ceiling. A strong interior colour scheme compliments the natural lighting and garden views from the reading area windows. |
