Renovations & construction:
Here are just a few highlights of the renovations our team has been working towards:
- In A Building, work continues in the vacated biology labs to convert the spaces into classrooms, while the physics labs are being developed into administrative offices.
- A167 (previously The Gathering Space) will be converted into additional classroom space. Work has started and is expected to be ready for the fall.
- You may have noticed some construction in near the Library in front of T Building over the last few weeks. This is in preparation for the new house posts in honour of Siem Henry Charles of the Musqueam Nation.
- Pathways around campus are being repaired to reduce tripping hazards. The project is almost finished and expected to be complete in the next week or so.
- Design work has started for A building roofing upgrades.
- Lastly, A003 expanded into A005 to create an larger space for a new Design classroom.
Relocations and completed projects:
- Indigenous Services and Education as well as the Indigenous Gathering Space have a new home in C Building (C120).
- The A Building fan system upgrades are complete and undergoing final commissioning.
- Vacated Chemistry Lab area on 2nd floor of A Building is complete. The upgrade included six new spaces (A271, 272, 273, 274, 275, and 276) – four general classrooms, one design classroom for Fine Arts, and one production area for Theatre Arts.
