That section is planned to be developed (the top portion) if you look at the NCC plan for that area. I think it was townhouses or something. There are posts about it - will try to find and update w/ links.

I hope it's a single story bistro and public washrooms or some small park pavilion and not anything of significance. Would be a strange place for office or residential.

So I guess they are planning to rent the library out for cocktail parties?

That space specifically is a reception hall (obviously the roof aspect changed since).

From the very early plans.

Thanks. It will have a pretty spectacular view. With the tight budgets these days, it seems they could create a pretty decent revenue stream if they manage that properly.

That and hopefully opening up the parking garage during event days at the Events Centre.
