Work will start Sunday on the main entrance of St. Lawrence Market, closing it for about four weeks.
The
new design will include sliding doors, signs, more light and a new design, by Onespace Unlimited, which according to senior designer Isabelle Smith will add "wood and warmth to the place."
According to Rebecca Grima, a marketing and communications consultant for the city, the renovation will make the entrance lobby into "a more attractive and more accessible space," though one that, according to Smith, is being designed to discourage the indigent from loitering.
All six entrances are being re-done to Onespace's designs, and updates are available at
www.stlawrencemarket.com.
