[edit]- ... that the construction of the new Calgary Central Library required the encapsulation of an active CTrain light rail line over a year-long period?

- Regarding the hook: Is there nothing of special interest about the Library itself? I.e its collections, special technological features, architectural features of the new building. Cgingold (talk) 08:46, 23 May 2016 (UTC)
- @Cgingold: Since the building is still under construction, one can only speculate about the collections. Architecturally, it's got some interesting features that don't really stand out among modern libraries (facade treatments, open atriums, skylights, etc.). Perhaps a hook about the Nexen sponsorship and fears of censorship (being a Chinese state-owned subsidiary and all)? SounderBruce
This article is new enough and long enough. I think the hook is interesting enough, and it has an inline citation to a reliable source. The article is neutral and I detected no copyright issues. The building design is most impressive. Cwmhiraeth (talk) 06:19, 29 May 2016 (UTC)
