People's Choice Award and Adaptive Re-Use Award winner at the AZ Awards - congratulations Idea Exchange Old Post Office!

This concise article captures the highlights of this complex project; nice work Catherine Osborne. Idea Exchange City of Cambridge

Further recognition that Idea Exchange "is an emblem of advances in communication technologies in its transition from post office to digital hub, and of the corresponding transformation of the Cambridge library system" @cityofcambridge @ONLibraryAssoc

"Case studies on the modern history and future success of the library as a public resource and a place for ideas and contemplation"; Idea Exchange Old Post Office, Canada's first "bookless library, kicks-off worldwide list. @cityofcambridge @ONLibraryAssoc

"Entirely predicated as it is on the intricacy of the task and the tightness of the site, the project does not establish a new bookless library type, nor does i...t yield paradigmatic lessons on heritage and conservation. And yet, if we are to truly consider rebuilding mid-sized cities around their downtown cores, we need more buildings like the Old Post Office: projects in which the municipality clearly stakes a claim that promotes development while preserving heritage, with an idea of conservation rooted in the contemporary integration of structures in todays urban life." University of Waterloo's Anne Bordeleau on the Idea Exchange - Old Post Office in Galt, Ontario, designed by RDH Architects.
