Delivered by OHMG, this award-winning four-storey development on Botanic Avenue, Belfast, represents a striking achievement in architectural design, functionality, and sustainability. The project — comprising a new library and an adjoining mathematics building — was completed in two phases, combining modern construction techniques with imaginative detailing to create an inspiring educational facility.
The fully glazed library façade presents a contemporary architectural statement, while the multi-storey open atrium floods the interior with natural light, fostering an open and engaging environment for over 2,000 students and staff. Sustainability was integral to the design, incorporating a heat recovery system and passive solar energy features to optimise energy performance and reduce the building’s environmental impact.
Among the library’s standout features is the C.S. Lewis Room, a creative tribute to one of Belfast’s most celebrated authors. Accessed through a replica of the wardrobe door from The Chronicles of Narnia, this imaginative design element adds a distinctive and memorable touch, reinforcing the building’s role as a space that celebrates both knowledge and creativity.
Through innovative planning, skilled craftsmanship, and sustainable design, OHMG has delivered a facility that is both functional and inspirational, enriching Belfast’s academic and cultural landscape. The Botanic Avenue Library and Mathematics Building exemplifies OHMG’s dedication to constructing world-class educational environments that combine aesthetic sophistication with lasting value.
