Experience the New Central Library Online!!

New Central Library Website is Now Up and Running...

As we all wait in anticipation for the splendid New Central Library (NCL) to be built, we can now follow every step of the way of construction at the brand new NCL website!

After several months of planning and construction, Canada Municipal Lands Company (CMLC), the master developer of East Village and company supervising the construction of the facility, has brought the website online. See the New Central Library Website here.

Some features of the new multi-page website include:

• An overhead webcam showing construction pace

• Details on project designs, materials, functions and public art

• The complete list of companies and teams working on the library

• As well as an up-to-date news section highlighting the latest newsletters.

Other features include precise 3D renderings of architectural drawings as well as a series of HD videos that will take website visitors through some of the most important moments of the New Central Library`s construction step by step.

Acting as a bridge between the downtown core and East Village, the New Central Library will attract visitors from all over the city with its state-of-the-art facilities and awe-inspiring architecture / design inside and out.
