Hillsburgh Public Library

These images were part of the media kit that David Lasker Communications created for Hillsburgh Public Library by +VG Architects (The Ventin Group Ltd.), winning press hits in Canadian Interiors and other publications. Google “Hillsburgh, Ontario” and an image of the project, Hillsburgh’s pride, appears next to the map on the search page. The design wraps a new structure, sited to maximize views of the nearby mill pond, around the renovated existing 1892 homestead. The facility boasts all the amenities of a fully accessible modern library while maintaining the historical significance of the rural property. “The stellar new Hillsburgh library has been very well received by the community; it has become an instant and well-used community hub,” says the client, Murray McCabe, Chief Librarian, County of Wellington, for whom +VG also created public libraries for Aboyne (Fergus), Mount Forest, Drayton and Arthur.
