T-A-圣日爾曼圖書館位于魁北克省圣亞森特市中心。這座多功能和充滿活力的新圖書館鼓勵人們在溫暖寧靜的環境中進行自發的相遇、非正式的交流、發現探索和自我實現。該圖書館超越了傳統的以閱讀為主要學習方式的圖書館模式，各種功能分布于三層體量中。主要功能包括二個多功能室、一個展覽區、一個共享工作空間、多媒體創作工作室（FabLab）、一個電腦實驗室、一個咖啡廳、一個露臺，以及為兒童、青少年和成人設立的明確定義的區域。新濱水走廊的基石——圣亞森特市收購了市中心核心戰略用地，旨在防止商家和居民從歷史悠久的市中心向沿主要道路和高速公路的新城市發展樞紐撤離。緊鄰雅馬斯卡河和巴薩洛橋，該地點對住在河西岸社區的人們來說是通往市中心的重要入口。ACDF總裁馬克西姆-亞歷克西斯·弗拉皮耶解釋說：“該項目作為一個致力于改善雅馬斯卡河的重大城市發展項目的起點，因此決定將新圖書館建在1.5英里長的新濱河走廊的藝術和文化區的中心位置。”

新建的T-A-圣日耳曼圖書館猶如一座燈塔矗立在景觀之中，在圣亞森特市中心的歷史區域成為了標志性的建筑。它已成為圣亞森特所有居民的必游之地，并為重新定位老城區做出了貢獻。該項目是ACDF所倡導的建筑方法的典型例子，即在效率和美學之間找到完美的平衡，以設計出最高建筑品質的項目?！拔覀兂珜б环N設計方法，這種方法側重于更優化的資源組合，以創造有意義的建筑，以及創造能夠構建和貢獻于社區的地方，”馬克西姆-亞歷克西斯·弗拉皮耶總結道，“我們希望在這個擴建和改造項目中采用的負責任和集約的方法，能夠提高人們對保護建筑遺產價值的認識，并在設計非凡場所時，對我們所使用的手段保持克制?！?/p>

T-A-St-Germain Library， located in downtown Saint-Hyacinthe， Quebec. Versatile and dynamic， the new library encourages spontaneous encounters， informal exchanges， discoveries， and self-fulfillment in a warm and tranquil environment. Going beyond the traditional model of a library focused on learning through reading， this 52，200 sqft. cultural hub offers a varied program spread over 3 floors. Key functions include 2 multi-purpose rooms， an exhibition area， a co-working space， multimedia creation studios （FabLab）， a computer lab， a café， a terrace， and well-defined zones for children， teenagers， and adults. The first stone of a new waterfront corridor - in line with the City of Saint-Hyacinthe's structuring vision to stem the exodus of merchants and residents from the historic downtown area to new urban development hubs along major roads and highways， the City of Saint-Hyacinthe has acquired a strategic site in the downtown core. Bordering the Yamaska River and the Barsalou Bridge， the site is an important point of access to downtown for communities living on the west bank of the river. “The project serves as the starting point for a major urban development project dedicated to the enhancement of the Yamaska River，” explains ACDF President， Maxime-Alexis Frappier. “The decision was therefore made to position the new library at the heart of the arts and culture section of the new 1.5-mile pedestrian and bicycle river corridor.”

A new cultural beacon - The new T.A. Saint-Germain library rises as a beacon on the landscape， establishing a structuring presence in Saint-Hyacinthe's historic downtown area. It has emerged as a must-see destination for all Saint-Hyacinthe residents and contributes to efforts to requalify the old downtown area. This project is a prime example of the architectural approach advocated by ACDF， which consists of striking the perfect balance between efficiency and aesthetics to design projects of the highest architectural quality while knowing how to define what is possible and what is necessary. “We advocate a design approach that focuses on a more optimal mix of resources to create meaningful architecture， and to create places that structure and contribute to their communities，” concludes Maxime-Alexis Frappier. “We hope that the responsible and frugal approach employed in this expansion and transformation project can serve to raise awareness of the merits of conserving our built heritage and exercising restraint in the means we employ to design exceptional places.”
