Posted on Sept. 24: Open house launches Health Sciences expansion

McMaster faculty, staff, students and community members are invited to attend an open house for information on the building expansion to the Faculty of Health Sciences.

After considerable planning, construction of the multi-use facility is about to begin. The expansion is the largest building project on campus in the past 30 years and will provide significant new classroom, research and hospital space. However, the construction itself will create some challenges.

“We have tried to anticipate and mitigate the impact the construction will have on campus and the community,” says Karen Belaire, vice-president (administration). “Input received at the open house will help to ensure that we have considered all the issues that may arise during this phase of the project.”

Details of the project, including the construction timelines and the approved design, will be displayed. As well, the architect, project manager and University officials will be available to answer questions.

The open house will take place Thursday, Sept. 26 in Divinity College, Room 136 from 4 to 7 p.m.
