The 9000 sq ft library will be located on the second floor of the office building while the 400sq ft VMC Express will be located below the library directly at the street level.
Lightbox samples that will be installed on the north wall of the VMC Library.
Glazing work continues and glass partitions and glass walls are being installed. Carpet installation has begun, and the staged approach is anticipated to take place over the course of the next few months. Lightboxes will also be installed on the north wall of the VMC Library. Lightboxes help maximize visibility, adds vibrancy to space, and are cost-efficient and energy-saving.

PROGRESS UPDATE
Work at the VMC Library and VMC Express is progressing well as contractors continue to work in accordance with the capacity limits. Construction timeline is on track per revised post-Covid schedule, with the exception of glass related items that include glazed partitions and glass doors. This is due to an industry-wide delay currently being experienced by most glass manufactures. We are anticipating a substantial completion target for January 2021.
