Don't know about the status of the cupola, but wasn't it removed completely in the 90's, brought down to the ground, and restored? Then the walls, probably similar. Then demolish and rebuild the washrooms, doors, hydro vault, and address whatever the problem might be with the slab on grade. I thought the slab was in good shape, isn't there rollerskating in there regularly?

Thanks for the explanation. I also thought the slab was in good shape, but it is included in this restoration. Maybe they are doing this as a preventative measure so they don't need to shut down again in 10 years. But i have my doubts, as that is not our style.
