Members of the community celebrated the topping off of the PwC building that will house the two libraries in the Vaughan Metropolitan Centre (VMC). The building is located in the Vaughan Metropolitan Centre adjacent to the VMC subway station and York Region Rapid Transit Bus Terminal.
The main VMC library occupies the second floor. The storefront library is located on the first floor directly behind the YMCA sign.

Activities scheduled for the next two weeks include west elevation panels installation, HVAC works, decorative suspended ceiling work, electrical wiring, spray foam in the new vestibule area, and miscellaneous drywall works.
