In the centre of the main street in Albany, the Albany Tourism and Information Hub was an extension to the east side of the existing public library. The addition includes a vibrant and interactive Visitors Centre on the ground floor, featuring local timber cabinetry, and virtual reality simulation experiences. Upstairs is an open plan extension, linked to the library, and is able to be divided into 3 different spaces via the use of acoustic operable walls. This is used as general public library space, meeting rooms for hire, and large civic functions.
The building is enveloped by a perforated laser cut screen, which features a pattern generated from imagery taken from aerial photography of the cliff face around The Gap. The colour complements the historic Town Hall, and reflects the light at different times of day. Internally, a striking gallery space unites the old and new spaces, and draws light into the centre of the building via skylights.
