Been to the new North Lakes Library?
0The Corso building sets a new environmental standard for civic buildings as the first public building in Australia with 5 Green Star certification by the Green Building Council of Australia.
The Corso community precinct which opened on September 13, contains a mega library, community centre and three levels of commercial office space.
Design and construction of the new North Lakes Library building is in line with high environmental standards, optimising natural ventilation and light as well as utilising solar power, rain water harvesting and technology to regulate air-conditioning.
Complete with modern facilities and impressive contemporary artworks, the new building is something that North Lakes residents can be proud of.
The new “destination library” has arrived at the cost of two smaller libraries at Kallangur and Narangba, despite a 4000 signature strong petition to the Moreton Bay Regional Council. Much of the concern was for elderly residents of these areas who will now be required to travel from these areas to use the North Lakes Library.
