Site preparation for construction of the University’s new student residence, to be located on Sunset Ave. between Wyandotte and Unions streets, is set to begin Monday, Sept. 19.

Disruption and noise are expected to be minimal as hoarding fences are erected around portions of campus parking lots ECC and Lot V (Clark), resulting in a reduction of parking capacity in these areas.

Parking pass holders will be accommodated in the following the lots: Union (Lot Z), HK (Lot H), Stadium (Lot G), and Lebel (Lot P). See map here.

The new 160,000 square-foot residence will be a state-of-the-art, six-storey, 440-room building featuring dining facilities and other student amenities. It is slated to be ready for occupancy in 2025.
