Massive Construction & Renovation Period

First Phase

• When the mall originally opened in 1973, it consisted of two floors, in earthy tones of browns with white. In the 1980s, the mall underwent an extensive facelift and renovation, chiefly the addition of a third storey, upgraded passenger lift, and a dramatic escalator going directly from the ground floor to the top level. The colour scheme was also updated to a stylish green and tan marble design. The original wrought-iron and wood railings were replaced by glass panels capped by a gold metallic balustrade. The new design featured large peaked glass panels as the ceiling, letting in lots of light to enhance the shopping experience. Another level was added to the exterior parkade as well. These changes helped Bayshore evolve from a medium-sized "community mall" to a regional shopping centre that attracts clientele from outside of the immediate area. The mall has continued to evolve in order to remain current in the dynamic retail climate that is Ottawa.

• Soon after, glass panels replaced metal bars on both staircases as well as the middle openings on the second and third levels.

Second Phase

• Following the 2003 closure of Les Ailes de la Mode, the resulting vacant space on the south side of the first and second levels was reconstructed into two new areas. In the first level, the former corridor was closed and a new corridor and mall entrance created to its east. Stores in the new area include EB Games, The Body Shop, Shoppers Blvd, Scentiments, Carol Baker Visage, Freyja Collections and MotoPhoto. A small eating area was also added, including a few new snack shops such as Booster Juice, La Cremière and Cinnabon. The new Savory's Fine Foods store opened on June 15, 2006 (replacing the defunct Market Fresh store) and the new Pet World opened across from the grocery on July 13.

• On the second level, a new corridor includes stores such as Mexx, Cleo, Timothy's World Coffee, Place Bonbon, Winners and Swarovski. The two new sections of the mall are connected by an elevator and some escalators. Washrooms were added near the GAP replacing the older and smaller ones that were located near the main entrance of the level (by the Bayshore Dental Clinic).

• A new passager elevator opposite of the existing green one, that leads to the food court area of the third, was also built to transport a greater number of customers from first to third or vice versa.

• Recently, the new Build-A-Bear Workshop opened its doors on June 15, 2006 at the old Cotton Ginny location which itself move further east on the level beside the recently moved Northern Reflection store. Just across from the location, the Athletes World store has moved for a short period of time to the lower level as they have reduced the second level space they occupied. A new store, Esprit will occupy the remaining space in October.

• This summer, the mall is currently undergoing an extensive renovation to its parking deck which will continue until this fall - this to replace the structure that existed since its opening more then 30 years ago. Right now, workers are currently doing Rows 5 to 8 on both first and second floors. Other work seems to be done in the eastern end of the lot on the first level near the intersection of Bayshore Drive and Woodridge Crescent. Other renovations may be planned elsewhere across the mall in the future.
