$2 MILLION ‘GREEN’ LIBRARY RENOVATION FOR COQUITLAM

COQUITLAM – The Coquitlam Public Library will benefit from upgrades to its Poirier branch, thanks to a joint investment of $2 million from the federal and provincial governments through the Canada-B.C. Municipal Rural Infrastructure Fund (CBCMRIF), which supports the continued growth of British Columbia communities as greener, healthier and more sustainable places to live.

Approximately 42,200 Coquitlam-area library users will benefit from renovations to the 19-year-old, 2,400-square-metre library. Upgrades include reconfiguring the interior, constructing a new main entry and adding a skylight. A hallway will be converted into useable space, and mechanical and electrical systems will be upgraded.
