Daniels alum Donald Schmitt and partner Jack Diamond, founding director of the Master of Architecture program at U of T, were featured in an article on CanadianInteriors.com which praised their latest project, the Brentwood Library renovation and expansion.

"The form of the original (1955) two-storey east wing is maintained and connects with a three-storey addition by a double-height Reading Room that houses the library’s main book collection and seating areas," the article describes. "This central spine features an exposed steel tension truss and wood roof as a sculptural element and fully glazed north and south elevations have clear and coloured translucent glass panels. Natural lighting is abundant throughout the library and all occupied spaces have windows and outdoor views."

Diamond Schmitt Architects has designed numerous projects including academic and public libraries as well as recreational, residential and healthcare facilities with a focus on sustainability and environmental design.
