Unless the old Picc Express scheme was resurrected, and a new subterranean
terminus built with the old platforms left alone, and the old surface building
connected via escalators.

But I think that you are right, and a second entrance would probably be built.

Given that the modern trend is to have both escalators and lifts (for
step-free access), it is not unimaginable that the existing station building
would retained for lift access and a new building constructed for the
escalators.
