Notice of Construction
Facilities Management and Planning will be rebuilding the south-side staircase beside the Tory Building this summer because they are in a deteriorated state. The work is scheduled to begin May 1 and is expected to be completed by the end of August. To ensure the area around the construction site is safe for members of the community, the section of path just west of the staircase to Herzberg will be closed. As well, a small part of the tunnel directly located under the stairs will also be closed during this time. Directional signage indicating detour routes around the quad and in the tunnel will be posted. Please also note that due to roof work on the Herzberg Building from May to June, the pathway in front of the building will be temporarily moved to accommodate a crane. Access to Herzberg will not be impacted.
