The new lounge at the McGregor Community Centre creates a new street façade as it extends out toward Lawrence Avenue East. The bold design is conceived of a horizontal split box. The lower portion is comprised of solid brick and block allowing for visual privacy and a safe and secure environment on the inside as the users had requested. The upper portion is made of glass panels, creating a lantern, allowing plenty of natural light to penetrate into the space. The glass panels of various colours create a vibrant and lively approach to the public realm. The panels wrap the upper portion of the addition toward the main entry to the building creating an energetic marker for the community centre. The bright, open, lofty gathering space allows for various members of the community, such as youth or seniors to gather, meet, form relationships, friendships and encourage community involvement. The lounge contains meeting, lounge, computer areas, office, kitchen, storage and an outdoor courtyard.
