General Sciences Building will also be renovated as part of
the overall expansion for the Faculties of Science and
Engineering.
In May, the Department of Computer & Software Engineering will

will be home to personnel from the
School of Geography & Geology who are now housed in the north
wing of the Arthur Bourns Building.
Renovations will include
construction of new partitions, installation of new doors,
replacing vinyl tile floors, installing new lights, electrical and
Ethernet connections and sinks, upgrading the HVAC system
and painting.
The project, estimated to cost $912,000 using Superbuild funds,
will begin in June with construction expected to be completed in
August.
