Belleville Public Library
Location Belleville, Ontario
Architect Zeidler Partnership Architects
Product Prodema Phenolic Resin Wood Composite Panels
Approximately 10,000 sq.ft. of Prodema panels were supplied and installed at this library and art gallery. A horizontal stacked plank pattern with exposed fasteners was used througout the facade. This was to accentuate the precast concrete pattern and glass assemblies that dominate the exterior finish. A horizontal pattern was used, while meshing with rectangular windows that are located randomly around the cylinder. The Prodema panels are skirted by a canopy of black ACM panels above the curtain wall assembly. This building won a 2009 Ontario Association of Architects Award for design excellence.
