Construction on Exterior Stairs, Pathway and Quad

Facilities Management and Planning (FMP) has several construction projects about to start across campus.

Fencing was erected around the grassed area in the quad on Monday, April 29, 2024 for safety purposes. FMP is investigating reports of compromised trees and possible removal.

The deteriorated south-side staircase beside the Tory Building will be rebuilt this summer. The work is expected to be completed by the end of August 2024. A section of the walking path and the tunnel is closed.

The pathway along Herzberg Laboratories has temporary moved to accommodate a crane for roof work in May and June. Full details on FMP’s work are available on the Current Students website.
