Aww, I like that building. The church portion has a lot of character, and the newer bit is nice and sharp looking, or at least it could be with a bit of fixing up.
I was walking by here today and one lane of the street was blocked off as they were putting new fenceposts in along the curb, and were in the process of moving the chain link fence out to it. This blocks the sidewalk on that side of the street, so it must mean they are very close to the beginning of demolition. I'll try to take picutes as it comes down.
I went by there today and there was a big crane being set up on the street which tied things up for a while. They needed it because they are dismantling the management building and have removed quite a bit of the upper structure so far. There was another smaller crane on the side of the church and they had a hole in the sidewall near the top. I will try to get some pics. It was actually quite a sight.
So i guess we can now safely say that there is no renovations in the works. I'm not sure what happens to threads that never happen. We can change this into a thread for the new building being built there though.
I do really like this building. I question how it will fit in on Coburg street however.
I drove by the site today and it is a very large deep hole into the bedrock.
I drove by this site today, they have been working on the concrete base and it appears they have installed a bracket for a tower crane, so that should be going up soon.
I'm very excited about this one, and in general I'm really happy with how aggressive Dal' and St Mary's are in regards to planing for the future and actually getting projects off the ground
Will this building have retail? This area could become a kind of "university village" for Dalhousie.
They'll probably also be building replacement residences for Fenwick soon. Not sure where they'd go, aside from maybe the large parking lot between Howe Hall etc. and the Dunn building.
