Five large window frames facing Union Street are being opened up for the first time in 47 years as part of construction activities at the Innovation and Wellness Centre.

Modern, thermal windows with a heritage look will be installed in the frames by early December, allowing natural light into the new centre.

“The premise of the design is to deliver a building that is open, light, and inviting to all. Therefore, it was a natural direction to open up the main façade,” says Franco Lora, Project Manager, Physical Plant Services.

The limestone, brick, and block that is being removed as part of the window work is not going to waste. All of the stone will be used to stabilize and repair the degraded areas of the existing south façade. The demolition work should be complete within the next couple of weeks.

Crews are working to enclose the Innovation and Wellness Centre construction site by the end of the year, with all construction activities set to be complete in time for a fall 2018 opening. Follow along with the Innovation and Wellness Centre’s progress via live webcam .
