Concrete 'skeleton' of Ottawa's future main library now complete

A view of Ādisōke, the future site of Ottawa's main library branch and Library and Archives Canada, as workers remove temporary posts after pouring the final suspended concrete slabs.

It's taken three years of work and 17,000 cubic metres of concrete, but Frank Santostefano is seeing an idea become reality on LeBreton Flats.

Frank Santostefano is a site superintendent with PCL construction and has worked on the Ādisōke project since the beginning, in 2020. "So far it's looked a little bit like the shell, the skeleton of the building," he added. "But we will soon see construction begin on the iconic curved roof of our new library.", but Sutcliffe said the project is still set to finish in 2026.

"This building is very significant, especially to the Indigenous people of this area," said Santostefano.
