The Millennium Project was a major redevelopment of Winnipegs Central Library which included:

• addition of 40,000 SF of new space;

• construction of a new fourth floor;

• renovations throughout the existing 110,000 sq ft library; and

• sustainable design concepts for responsible energy management.

The library features a new Reading Terrace with a four storey high solar glass wall, two panoramic glass elevators and a grand staircase which faces the existing urban park directly south of the Library.
