Library Square Levels 8 & 9 conversion was completed in 2018.
This project expanded the Library portion of the complex into two floors that were previously used for office space by the provincial government.
The former offices were converted into 40,000 sq. ft. of library space and library staff offices.

In order to reclaim the office space, 2 elevators had to be extended from level 7 to levels 8 and 9. A new hole was cut out of the floor at level 8 in order to extend 2 escalators from level 7 to level 8.

Featuring Gateway Childcare Centre completed in 2022. Designed to be handed over to the District of West Vancouver, this 37-capacity childcare is located on the second floor of the Gateway Residences at Park Royal. It is a purpose-built facility that followed the Richmond Childcare Design Standards.

Along with a daylight-filled functional interior, the centre includes an adjacent south-facing outdoor play area. As with all childcare facilities in multi-use buildings, the direct, secure and accessible circulation from at-grade entrance and parking drop-offs is important to the success of the centre.
