Project Summary
The Aaniin Community Centre & Library is situated in Markham, Ontario. “Aaniin” means “hello,” or “welcome,” in Ojibway, and it was chosen as the name for this beautiful structure to honour the Indigenous peoples of Ontario and to empathize the communal nature of the building. Housing a gym, library, pool, indoor play areas, and a central, tiered agora, Aaniin was envisioned as a hub for the community and it succeeds brilliantly by sheltering a broad range of activities for all ages and backgrounds under its massive Glulam roof. The community centre has 815 m3 of Glulam roof members and over 7300 m2 of Glulam decking.
