The newly created spaces included updated washroom facilities, library book storage areas, adult, teen and children lounge areas, work rooms, quiet study areas, new entry vestibule and entry hall. A 2-storey glazed wall system along the full extent of the north and west building facades creates striking visual identity to attract the community at large. New energy efficient systems maximized the use of natural sunlight.<\/p>\n<p>Special features of this renovation and addition was the use of a mass timber system that included engineering for connections of timber framing, beams, columns and trusses.
