Growth, renewal, and celebration in 2019

Campus Development

The Government of Canada카지노 게임 컬렉션™s Post-Secondary Institutions Strategic Investment Fund and the Government of Ontario also provided a combined $21.8 million to support the project.
To meet the needs of the student population a new residence has been proposed for construction on Albert Street. The project is currently undergoing community consultations and the approval process. In November a conceptual design was unveiled and several information sessions were held to engage neighbouring residents. Current plans call for construction to start in the spring/summer of 2020 with an occupancy date of September 2022.
In April, the university conditionally approved a student-led redevelopment project of the John Deutsch 카지노게임사이트 Centre.
