I think it was the Ottawa Convention (Shaw) Centre, so by 2024 when the new library is to open, we'll be overdue. Perhaps by then there will be other construction happening at Lebreton too, and hopefully the Trinity Centre will be rising as well.

Would you place the expanded Art Gallery in the same category as the NAC addition? Not quite the same scale, but still impactful.
