Ottawa Library named after Anishinābe Nation – Construction Canada

August 30, 2021

The library, designed by Diamond Schmitt, partnered with KWC architects, will deliver experience through Ottawa Public Library’s Central Library and Library and Archives Canada’s public services, exhibitions and events.

Ottawa Public Library—Library and Archives Canada Joint Facility is set to open its doors in late 2024, with an official opening in 2025. On behalf of the Anishinābe Algonquin Nation, Kitigan Zibi Anishinābeg and the Algonquins of Pikwakanagan First Nations named the facility Ādisōke.

Other rooms in Ādisōke will be given Anishinābe Algonquin names, such as the Children’s Discovery Centre, the Outdoor Gathering Circle, and a Wigwam-inspired Circular Lodge and its adjacent exterior terrace. The site for the joint facility is located on the traditional territory of the Anishinābe Algonquin Nation.
