At first glance it does look a little gratuitous. What's the function of the two flying slabs?

Hopefully to cover some rooftop study space, or at least to collect rainwater for toilets, and capture sun to generate electricity.

Yep, they're solar panels. It's Hamilton's first zero carbon building that'll generate more energy than it consumes.

That's cool, I can accept a couple non-gratuitous Alsopian slabs if that's their purpose.

The captured rainwater has to go somewhere, so hopefully to a cistern on the top floor.

Cool. If there's a reason for it beyond 'flair' then I'm for it.

There is a pair of live construction cams on the site of the new Joyce Centre up at Mohawk.

the mckeil school of business, or the i-wing as we knew it, is still imo one of the most brilliant pieces of architecture mohawk college has - with the bountiful amount of light - the different shapes and angles and the circular atrium inside, I just really enjoyed being in this wing whenever I could

I have a class in that building once a week, and I can tell you it is a very nice addition. Very bright and welcoming and the main floor study area is very nice (il be posting pictures in coming days). But something that needs to be addressed very soon is Fennel Ave, The roads are TREACHEROUS, it's almost as bad as how Main West was during the winter.

Between Garth and the Governors, it is a VERY bumpy ride.

Gally Area inside the Innovation Building (EA WING)

Construction is still ongoing and a cafe will be built in that area as well. Looks like there are 6+ lab classrooms, 2 lecture halls and 1 lecture classroom (don't quote me). Each floor has 3 restrooms (male, female, neutral)

Mohawk College to expand in Burlington, Ont.
Hamilton-based college says it will open learning hubs and campuses in the city over next few years

Hamilton's Mohawk College says it will set up new learning hubs and campuses in nearby Burlington, Ont., over the next several years.

The college and the city issued the joint announcement Wednesday in a media release.

"There are promising opportunities in Burlington in healthcare, in industry, and across the regional economy," Mohawk College president Paul Armstrong said in the release.

"Students are looking for rewarding, fulfilling careers in desirable communities and employers are looking for well-educated and well-trained workers. Mohawk College is excited to create pathways to employment."

Brock University does operate a satellite campus in Burlington with teacher education programs, but the city isn't home to a publicly-funded community college.
