A few pics from over the course of the weekend.

I also noticed the crane has a large 1 on it, which leads me to believe we will see at least one other crane go up for this project.

Great photos from the weekend, I was checking out some of these sites too so I probably drove by you at some point.

I think the 1 sign on the tower section is left over from the Nova Centre. These tower sections are interchangeable between cranes of the same make. I was curious if they would put two up on this site too, but I think the reach of the one crane should get both sub sites.

Well, it was nice having a decent view from the library for the first few years.

Just this stuff, I believe. Nothing that will block the view from the Library.

I suspect the view will still be decent. I don't think we need a panorama of the harbour for the view to be good and I doubt it will block more in this view than the existing Westin Nova Scotian or buildings in the mid-ground on Barrington St.

The boom on this one is very long! I still hold out hope for a second crane though. Seems odd they would not take the few minutes necessary to remove the number from the crane section.

Driving by the other day I was really surprised to see how much has been done on this already. Though I guess they're not digging down for parking or anything.

Thanks for the Dalhousie Sexton campus construction picture.

Is the construction site the site of the soccer/football field?

No, it was a quasi-parking lot. There is also some construction along Morris, where they removed a few of their office/houses.

Thanks for the info. I can see it on Google Maps - https://www.google.ca/maps/search/se.../data=!3m1!1e3

Thankfully it isn't the soccer field since there isn't much green space on Sexton campus.

This page has a lot of information about this development and some great pictures: https://alumni.dal.ca/news/faculty/i...sexton-campus/

A sample:



The Design Building, facing Morris Street, will have a 450 seat auditorium:

The construction area is larger than I expected.
