Woodlawn Public Library, Dartmouth NS

A former multiplex cinema in Dartmouth, Nova Scotia, now serves as library branch and central technical processing for the Halifax Public Libraries.

Exterior view of a Jugendstil subway stop marked Burggasse and surrounded by commuters. Behind the station is a contemporary glass and orange cladding building composed of two symmetrical shapes separated by a narrow space.
