Library extension frame looking south to Harbord street

Fast-forward to completion and move-in and imagine a meeting here, in the new expanded south end of the Library Pavilion featuring a 20-seat space. While the fall colours are in motion, the views will be spectacular throughout the seasons, overlooking the Crescent Wing of the Jackman Law Building, the courtyard and the new south entrance facing Harbord. To the west lies Philosopher’s Walk and Trinity College.

Looking northeast out of the pit, you can see the forms for the Crescent Wing walls on the right, curving along Queen's Park. On the left is the foundation for the other outside wall of the wing that will form one side of the courtyard between the Library Pavilion and the Crescent.

 

Below are close ups of the massive foundation walls.
