Laneway closure via University Way for crane installation

The MacKimmie Redevelopment project is a multi-year, multi-phase project that will address major deferred maintenance and space issues on our campus.

Over the last several months, interior work has been done to get the tower ready for major construction. Starting in February, a large crane is being installed for construction work on MacKimmie Tower and will remain on site until construction is complete. During the installation, the laneway between Craigie Hall, TFDL, Murray Fraser Hall and MacKimmie Link accessible via University Way will be closed to vehicles Feb. 10-11, Feb. 23-25 and March 2-5.

There will be no vehicle access to the laneway from Saturday, Feb. 10 to Sunday, Feb. 11, 7 a.m. to 5:30 p.m. while the base of the crane is being installed. Pedestrian access and building entrances and exits will remain open.
