The new name also honours Dr. Frederic H. Sexton. In 1907 the province created a Department of Technical Education and appointed Dr. Sexton as Director of the Department and Principal of the Nova Scotia Technical College, a role he retained for 40 years. When the new Technical College building on Spring Garden Road was finished in 1909, Dr. Sexton had the foresight to negotiate the move of the Provincial Science Library and Museum into the new building. In this way, from the early days of the institution, the students had access to a fine collection of scientific and technical information. Since this visionary beginning, the Library has experienced many changes.
Electronic information is more convenient for our students and faculty.
They can choose to work in the Library, in their offices, or even at home. The Sexton Library is the premier engineering library and the only architecture library east of Quebec. It provides access to international design and technology information for students, faculty, researchers, professionals and the general public of Atlantic Canada.
