Great progress of the Vaughan Metropolitan Centre library can be seen from the street as well as from inside. The second-floor library space has been completely glazed in as glazing continues on the upper floors of the building. Installation of the heating ducts inside the library is also progressing well.

Progress on the highly-anticipated Vellore Village Library is increasingly noticeable. The installation of the external aluminum composite metal panels on the east, north and west elevations is nearly completed. Substantial progress has been made on ceiling works including installation of ceiling tiles and ceiling-mounted lighting systems. Painting and carpet installation have also been completed. Millwork items, such as desk and wall applications, will be installed next.

Photos of smiling customers now decorate an interior window at Maple Library.
The large interior window between the daycare and the library consists of ten smaller panes, each 3’ x 3’. Using an opaque, adhesive-backed vinyl to cover the window, the design is comprised of the happy faces of the library’s actual customers, on the top row with a beautiful swirl of colour on the bottom row that transforms the area behind the new Service Desk into a vibrant, inviting area.

Members of the community celebrated the topping off of the PwC building that will house the two libraries in the Vaughan Metropolitan Centre (VMC). The building is located in the Vaughan Metropolitan Centre adjacent to the VMC subway station and York Region Rapid Transit Bus Terminal.
The main VMC library occupies the second floor. The storefront library is located on the first floor directly behind the YMCA sign.

Construction activities on the library show steady progress. The most evident is the external work on the soffit and composite panel installation. Providing a shared entrance to the complex, the new vestibule is under construction. Interior work shows progress on bulkhead work as well as painting.
Activities scheduled for the next two weeks include west elevation panels installation, HVAC works, decorative suspended ceiling work, electrical wiring, spray foam in the new vestibule area, and miscellaneous drywall works.
