There was also a problem with the dust in the roof, that had high lead levels and cost an additional million dollars to remove safely. The new roof structure incorporates steelwork to improve the seismic performance, and is now anchored into the walls. The plans were shown the Vancouver Heritage Commission in 2014, who unanimously supported the choice of materials.
