The building is located in Xinguang Road, opposite to the Tuntex Sky Tower.

Architecture and design work were done by Ricky Liu and the Japanese architect Toyo Ito’s team.

Opening to the public in November of that year, it was hailed as a new cultural landmark for the city.

[3][4] The library has an area of 38,000 m2 (410,000 sq ft) over eight floors, with no columns inside the building.

This BOT project accounts for the operating costs of the new library in the future, and provides accommodation and research facilities in the adjacent Kaohsiung Exhibition Center to form a cultural and creative industry cluster and create a cultural and creative industry in Kaohsiung.
