Médiathèque José Cabanis, Municipal media library in Marengo district, Toulouse, France.
The Médiathèque José Cabanis spans 6,000 square meters next to Matabiau railway station, featuring extensive collections of books and multimedia resources.
The media library, designed by architect Jean-Pierre Buffi, replaced the former Toulouse Veterinary School site and opened its doors in 2004.
The institution bears the name of José Cabanis, a Toulouse poet who lived from 1922 to 2000, and maintains literary programs throughout the year.
The library provides 150 computers with internet access, instrument loans, study spaces, and operates from Tuesday through Saturday at 1 Allée Jacques Chaban-Delmas.
An asymmetrical arch spans Avenue Georges Pompidou, connecting two main buildings through a belvedere that offers views across Toulouse.
