Greetings everyone

If the weather will cooperate, we are ready to start building a student union!

As early as the middle of next week, the contractor for the Student Union Expansion and Renovation, SJ Amoroso, will begin fencing the construction site and staging area on the north mall, occupying a large portion of that space. Shortly thereafter, major activity will begin in and around the current facility which will impact the campus in a number of ways, mostly with changes in traffic patterns. Every effort will be made to minimize the disruptions, but given the location, that will not always be easy. Updates will be sent as details become available.

Construction traffic will access the site from the inner campus road parallel to Victoria Street, similar to the way the Bookstore contractor has accessed their site. There will be signage and flag persons where necessary, but pedestrians are advised to use extra caution when walking near the construction site. The walkway between the west and east walkways that crosses the mall will be closed for the entire period of construction. The east walkway between SBS and SCC Building 14 (School of Education) will be closed for the first six months of construction to facilitate the excavation and expansion of the loading dock, tunnel and retaining walls.
