Aligned with the University of Calgary’s mission of becoming one of Canada’s top 5 research facilities by 2016, the Taylor Family Digital Library (TFDL) was designed to change the way people use a library. Moving away from antiquated processes of the past, the University wanted to give its students, city and community a space that would best serve their information and learning needs.

Working closely with students and instructors gave us insight into what features would have the biggest impact. The facility became much more than a library; it became a catalyst for human activity at the heart of the campus.
