Pass through the area often enough, this is today from the dash cam. View is better driving from the east, and me in the passenger seat. The third crane is absolutely up.

After years of planning, McMaster University aims to welcome students to its massive new undergraduate residence as classes get underway this fall.

A short walk from campus, Lincoln Alexander Hall — the university’s largest residence with 1,365 beds — is meant to ease a first-year dorm crunch.

“The new residence will allow the university to accommodate a large majority of this year’s first-year students in residence,” spokesperson Andrea Lawson said via email Monday.

Workers are putting finishing touches on the sprawling Main Street West complex, which steps up to 15 storeys and backs on to Traymore Avenue, with students expected to move in later this month.

Last August, McMaster scrambled to accommodate first-year students, requiring temporary fixes to common areas and rooms.

With Lincoln Alexander Hall, McMaster has 15 residences and expects roughly 4,600 students to live on campus come September, Lawson noted.

The residence, which McMaster built in partnership with developer Knightstone Capital Management, is named after the trail-blazing Hamilton federal politician who was Canada’s first Black parliamentarian and Ontario lieutenant-governor.
