We’ve got some good news about the new Wyckham House!

If you’ve been following this blog, you’ll recall that our original construction plan was to finish the new wing and food court of Wyckham House by the middle of August 2008 and then complete renovations to the new student volunteer centres (places like the Peer Support Centre, Native Student Centre, Cultural Mosaic Centre and Access Abilities Centre) by January 2009.


However, according to current reports from the construction company managing the project, it appears that now the student volunteer centres will also be set to open by September 2008, moving us ahead by nearly 6 months! Work is definitely progressing on the expansion—the steel structure for the second and third floors is being put in. This means we’ll have to hoard up the big windows on the north side of Wyckham House in order to protect them from being hit by the crane or a steel beam. Although we’ll lose a lot of natural light, the wooden structures you see over the windows will protect them and you in case of any unforeseen accidents!
