Today's update:

I hope they make Commissioner street narrower and the sidewalk wider.

Looks close to getting done.

That is one heck of a complicated roof.

Like a old timey British factory. Dickensian.

Looks good! I'm secretly gonna miss the green looking library. its made it pop from so many angles from around the city.

The glazing looks fantastic. Very thin mullions make the curtain glass walls really sharp, it's going to look so amazing at night when you can see the warm woody interior behind the window walls.

When the glass started going up, I was a bit worried. It looked kind of basic and very dark. Had the same thought with Relevé initially. Both have turned our great.

Not seeing any major value engineering so far.

They narrowed the Commissioner street. I hope it's not the final form and they will actually make it look more permanent than that.

As a user and big fan of both the National Library and OPL, I still don't quite understand the use case.

I hope the National Library side of things is... quiet.

Love to see that. A good first step, but hopefully not the final form.

I wonder if the Commissioner street rebuild and landscaping is in the Library budget. Given that the Library is an OPL-LAC joint facility, it should be well-connected with the LAC building. But I have a feeling it's not.
