Cooroy / 2011-2012

Cooroy Library is a collaboration with Brewster Hjorth Architects.

The Cooroy Library and Digital Information Hub was developed as part of the Mill Place Master Plan for Cooroy which was was to create a new vibrant link between the existing Butter Factory and the upgraded rural industry buildings at  lower Mill place, vacated by the closure of the Timber Mill.

Robinson Architects have an ongoing relationship with this precinct, now as architects for all facilities and structures associated with the new Hinterland Adventure Playground (under construction) that is sited between the library and Lower Mill Place. Client again is Noosa Council

The library includes digital training rooms, community rooms, community lounge reading areas and a large covered verandah

The library was designed with a strong focus on widespread community interaction including children and senior citizens.

At the core of our ethos and aesthetic is simplicity; our buildings are functional, beautiful, sustainable and engaged. Multi-award winning and widely published globally, Robinson Architects values our strong reputation for both architecture and professional integrity spanning several decades.

At ArchiPro we recognise and acknowledge the existing, original and ancient connection Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples have to the lands and waterways across the Australian continent. We pay our respects to the elders past and present. We commit to working together to build a prosperous and inclusive Australia.
