Here's the URL for an interesting video by Jim Lockyer talking about the project. It includes a couple of flyby animations and some floor plans:

Here are screen captures of the floor plans from the video (hence blurry).

Level 1 - you can see how the planned library space wraps around the central courtyard of the old school on three sides. I think this shows a lot of potential. Note that the library entrance is off the parking lot, and not off the main atrium of the building. The "centre of excellence" refers to space for the performing arts, and particularly the Atlantic Ballet Company of Canada.


Level 2 - you can see the auditorium on this level, as well as adjacent studios (created from the old gymnasium) which could also be used by the Atlantic Ballet Company, or for other theatrical rehearsal spaces. I think the area marked "cultural space" could be used for the proposed modern art gallery. The main atrium is on this level and will serve the auditorium and the "cultural space". You can also see that one wing of the building on this level is proposed to be rented out to the province, presumably for office space.


Level 3 - is mostly given over to a "learning centre". I'm not entirely sure what this means, but I imagine this space could be used for a variety of cultural purposes such as small studios, or for classrooms for night courses etc.

I don't have time to give details now. Essentially, the library would be moved to the first floor, in a configuration similar to what MonctonRad suggested. Interesting that the regional library is part of the move, which hadn't been addressed before AFAIK.

Also - Facebook page with two new videos posted today: https://www.facebook.com/mh35moncton
