The "intellectual heart" of the campus.
The Riddell Library and Learning Centre was designed to be the “intellectual heart” of Mount Royal University. Designed to LEED Gold standards, the building includes 1,500 seats, 34 group-use rooms, visualization labs, archive storage / processing space, and media creation suites.
The building incorporates a highly flexible, low energy mechanical system that will allow Mount Royal University to adapt to the rapidly changing digital environment. The design incorporates energy efficient features such as variable speed pumping, variable volume fan array air delivery, centralized heat recovery, magnetic bearing chillers, and CO2 monitoring / control to ensure a dynamic and energy-efficient mechanical system. This building also houses a large data centre served by dedicated HVAC and fire protection systems, along with various multimedia and technology rooms with specialized mechanical requirements.
