The project included the construction of a new 800ft2 entrance vestibule at McLaulghlin Library and redevelopment of the exterior to create a new landscaped welcoming courtyard.  The project also included interior renovations to decommission the existing entrance as an exit only and move the customer service desk to the new entrance location.

Massey Hall is the neighbouring historic building that required repairs to the existing foundation and safety upgrades. The safety upgrades included the construction of new metal stairs at one of the back exit doors, and the front entrance lime stone steps were upgraded with new limestone to replace the damaged one. The steps were also removed and reset with new mortar. The foundation scope of work included re-pointing the existing rubble foundation to provide a water tight system in conjunction with a new waterproofing and weeping tile being installed. Once the area around Massey Hall was backfilled it was landscaped and connect to the new courtyard area.
