Location

The central library will be in downtown Saskatoon at 321 2nd Avenue North.

We chose this prime location for the central library because of its size and configuration, access, and potential for community impact, which includes contextual suitability, social benefit and potential to generate downtown revitalization.

Key Site Features:

  • Accessible by all modes of transportation (walking, bike, public transit and vehicle).
  • Is large enough to accommodate outdoor events and adds much-needed green space to Saskatoon’s downtown core.
  • Connects and anchors the downtown development along 2nd Avenue, with River Landing to the south and the central library as a focal point in the north.
  • The new central library is adjacent to the approved Bus Rapid Transit lines on both 1st Avenue and 25th Street and is within walking distance of a station that will service all three rapid transit lines.
