University of Lethbridge
The University of Lethbridge has chosen a site for the Destination Project. Exciting things are around the corner I think.

As an alumnus of UofL, I'm quite excited about this project. While I didn't take any science classes, I did feel that the CCBN and Water Research Building were disconnected from the rest of the campus. This new building will help to bridge the research buildings to the rest of the campus.
My wish for a future project would be to build underground or above ground parkades on the site of the west lot. That sea of parking that is the west lot is such a terrible first impression into the campus. |

IIRC, the research buildings to the north were only the beginning of a planned larger research park. |

Another article from the Lethbridge Herald. Almost a month old now but I didn't see this one before. No pictures yet but more hints on the scope of the project.

Apparently, the CCBN will be moving its functions into the new complex and their old building will be repurposed. The spaces freed up in UHall will also get repurposed. Perhaps more single first year student dorm rooms?

There's a bit more to look at now:
http://www.uleth.ca/unews/article/th...g#.VCMIhOd94yJ With a few options: http://www.uleth.ca/unews/sites/defa.../TheStreet.jpg http://www.uleth.ca/unews/sites/defa...s/TheCourt.jpg http://www.uleth.ca/unews/sites/defa...les/TheHub.jpg and a slide show presentation: http://www.uleth.ca/featured-project...esentation.php |
I thought that the footprint of the new building was going to be much larger and connect the north entrance of UHall in the east to the Prairie Quad in the west. I'm disappointed that this doesn't seem to be the case.

They have selected the design called "The Hub" as the winner of the competition for the new Science and Academic Building and are looking to start construction next year! :) It'll probably be the biggest single building on the campus, so it's a pretty big deal.
This is the one they chose: http://www.uleth.ca/unews/sites/defa...b-Scenic_0.jpg http://www.uleth.ca/unews/sites/defa...s/TheHub_1.jpg http://www.uleth.ca/unews/article/un...g#.VROvmvnF93s According to the "Destination Project" website, interior design work is underway... http://www.destinationproject.ca/ |
I went to this university as well. Nice to see quality buildings being added!

Looks awesome!

Since there's no Lethbridge thread.... here you go!
Here's an older update but a beautiful photo of the construction of the University of Lethbridge Science and Academic Building from last year! http://www.destinationproject.ca/fil...-Project-2.jpg http://www.destinationproject.ca/201...-construction/ Lethbridge Transit's new transit terminal and park n ride is nearing completion in the middle of the city's downtown core. The building will also house the Southern Alberta offices and terminal facilities for Red Arrow, which is now the only intercity bus service in Alberta. https://media.globalnews.ca/videosta...7345347560.jpg https://globalnews.ca/video/4613239/...-2019#autoplay |
