Finally, an amazing upgrade!
Someone on SSP found this:
Looks like the new owners will invest in modernizing the old library and they are looking for a tenant, any type of commercial or institutional tenant. So the building should be sticking around for a while still.

Maybe the portrait gallery could be back on the menu, that could work here.
That would be a really good spot. Doubt the Feds revive that idea though.
Fleury's Street Art Museum for HBC would work better here with plenty of blank concrete walls inside and out that could use a mural.

Took this one Saturday. Terrible resolution, but still shows the prominence of the library driving into Ottawa over the Portage Bridge.

I don't want to pooh pooh anything, because this project is great, but I can't help but cringe at the future engineer who is assigned for a leak evaluation at those skylights. I really hope that air/vapour barriers, insulation, framing (see: thermal bridging), and the glazing are all extra-top-notch. Otherwise the slightest air leak and resulting condensation within all those odd-shaped sheet metal boxes way up at the top of the large atrium... Not to mention future snow drifts and large ice dams in all of the drainage ditches between them all.
