What I hate is that such a small increase in capacity is all they want to put there.

What also gets me is the cost is going to be around 60M. That seems pretty high for the added value of 200 people. I have to wonder what the incremental cost would have been for another 200-400 people.
As for the design. It really does nothing for me. I think they were trying to incorporate a "traditional" downtown St. John's feel with the colored portions but to me it looks like it wouldn't be out of place out on Stavanger Dr.
