Update on the New Science Building at MUN
Construction on a new $250-million science building at Memorial University in St. John's is not expected to start until next Spring. The funds were announced in last year's budget. MUN President Dr. Gary Kachanoski says two sites are under consideration, on either side of the University Centre along Prince Philip Drive. Kachanoski was the guest speaker at this week's meeting of the Rotary Club of St. John's. Kachanoski says he expects the tender for architectural drawings to go out this Spring.
He says with laboratory buildings there's the issue of lab fume hoods which take up space on other floors, so sometmes he says it's more efficient to spread the building out over a larger footprint. Kachanoski says whether that means separate locations or one larger building, that decision hasn't been made. He says the decision will be made very soon based on fiscal considerations.
