N.S. pledges $32 million to new science centre at Dalhousie

A $32-million commitment to a new BioScience Enterprise Centre at Dalhousie University was announced Tuesday by Premier Rodney MacDonald.
The new bioscience centre will open for business in the Spring of 2011, and will be built beside the new Life Sciences Research Institute slated to open around the same time next to the Sir Charles Tupper medical building on the corner of College and Summer streets.
“Life sciences is one of the fastest-growing sectors in our region’s economy,” the premier said at a hastily assembled announcement ceremony at the university attended by leaders in the region’s academic and research communities.
The premier said the sector continues to offer tremendous potential to create employment and attract investment and also to improve the quality of health care and life of the province.
The premier said the cash commitment will be made through InNOVAcorp over 20 years.
The planned facility will replace the existing centre on Lower Water Street on the Halifax waterfront and eventually open that site up for redevelopment, the premier said.

If I'm not mistaken the BioSciences building on Lower Water is part of the Queen's Landing redevelopment so once this gets completed some more work might go ahead on that project.
