McMaster has received approval from the city to disconnect utilities on the site of the new undergraduate residence, located on Main Street West between Dalewood and Forsyth avenues.

Activity on the site will begin on Monday, Sept. 26 as contractors do this work.

This is a requirement of the City of Hamilton in advance of issuing demolition permits. The university anticipates that demolition will begin some time in the fall.

McMaster has created a web page to update our community about this project, and homes nearby were provided letters in advance.

When the new residence opens, it will welcome first-year students to a home that is a part of McMaster’s vibrant neighbourhood.
