The Hive is a library that responds to its brief and setting, and uses sustainable materials that will endure.
It is accessible by all people, provides a safe environment and is welcoming to anyone who comes through the doors. To help users identify where they feel most comfortable, each area within The Hive is defined by colour, lighting and acoustics to create distinct and appropriate zones.
The building makes maximum use of controlled natural light and ventilation with controls and local manual override to ensure the comfort of users throughout the building
