Weren't there talks of building a new central library somewhere around here? https://biblioottawalibrary.ca/en/central-library
"On June 9, 2015, the Ottawa Public Library Board approved the next steps of the Central Library Project, which include:
A 132,000 gross square feet Central Library
To proceed with the new build (See Background below for details)
That the Central Area be considered the geographic boundaries when considering a location for the new build"
This is pretty close to the 130,000 sqf in the library proposal.

The City wants a new 130,000 sqft central library. Trinity is also proposing a library on Booth at Albert across Pimisi Station as part of the Sens' Rendez-Vous LeBreton proposal.
