May 31: Ground broken for new liberal arts building
MAY 27: Community open houses:
Members of the community are invited to an open house to receive project updates about L.R. Wilson Hall – the University’s new home for the liberal arts opening in 2015.
At the open house, you will hear about how the building has been designed to provide students, faculty and staff with state-of-the-art teaching, learning and research space. The project architects will provide details about the building’s sustainability features and design principles that respect and complement the site of the building and its neighbours. Renderings of the building and information about the construction timelines, traffic management and noise control measures will also be shared. You will have an opportunity to ask questions.
Two identical open houses are scheduled:
