The Geelong Library and Heritage Center
The Geelong Library and Heritage Center, designed by ARM Architecture and located in Geelong, is an eight-level structure with a distinctive geodesic dome, partially buried and artfully positioned between significant heritage sites like the Geelong Peace Memorial and the Geelong Art Gallery. The building’s exterior is clad in a unique pattern of hexagonal and pentagram-shaped glass-reinforced concrete panels, with muted brown tones that create a visual link to its historical neighbors while maintaining its distinct modern identity. The west wall of the building merges with the surrounding Johnstone Park, featuring crystalline glass shards reminiscent of a grotto entrance, enhancing the connection between the structure and nature. Inside, the library offers a versatile and sustainable space, with various levels dedicated to community engagement, learning, and cultural preservation. It is equipped with innovative sustainable features, including a displacement air system, in-slab floor heating, and a large solar array, ensuring the building meets high environmental standards while providing a welcoming and functional community hub.
