A public open house on Friday, December 1, will celebrate the pending opening of the downtown buildings to house the School of Creative Arts.

Both the Freedom Way building on the former site of Tunnel Bar-B-Q and the Windsor Armouries building will open to community tours from 2 to 7 p.m.

Faculty, staff, and students are invited to visit the new home of SoCA to experience the remarkable transformation of these spaces.

Buses will shuttle participants from the main campus to downtown, leaving Vanier Circle from 11:45 a.m. to 2 p.m., and returning to campus every 15 minutes until 3 p.m.

The Department of Human Resources requests that, where possible, supervisors be flexible in accommodating employees who wish to attend this open house.
