If the planning comes to fruition, the building will also become the home of a new, state-of-the-art facility for the Faculty of Engineering and Applied Science, which will further enhance the faculty as one of the best in the country.

카지노 게임 컬렉션The redeveloped building will be an enhancement to both the quality of our student experience and the quality of our research and educational facilities,카지노 게임 컬렉션 says Principal and Vice-Chancellor Daniel Woolf. 카지노 게임 컬렉션When completed, it will be a prominent symbol of Queen카지노 게임 컬렉션s commitments both to student life and learning and to advanced research.카지노 게임 컬렉션

The building, located at 67 Union St., was decommissioned in 2009. In 2012, the three gyms in the building were renovated and reopened to provide increased recreational opportunities for students, and centralized exam space. A recent structural assessment of the building by an external consultant found that it is in excellent shape and, if renovated, could provide a considerable amount of additional space 카지노 게임 컬렉션 up to 160,000 square feet 카지노 게임 컬렉션 at a relatively low cost per square foot, compared to a newly constructed building.

카지노 게임 컬렉션The building provides a wonderful opportunity to utilize and revitalize valuable space that is not currently being used,카지노 게임 컬렉션 says Alan Harrison, Provost and Vice-Principal (Academic). 카지노 게임 컬렉션Given the university카지노 게임 컬렉션s current financial situation, strong support will be needed to fund the project, and we are hopeful that this use of existing space will allow us to realize our goals sooner than if we were to construct a new building.카지노 게임 컬렉션

More information about the project will be made available as plans progress.
