Major renovations coming to the McIntyre Building
Major renovations are planned for portions of the McIntyre
Building to address deferred maintenance and upgrade many
laboratories to modern research and teaching standards.
Mechanical systems, including exhaust and ventilation, will be
upgraded. The work will bring the system up to modern Heating,
Ventilating and Air Conditioning (HVAC) standards and improve
energy efficiency.
Renovation will affect all floors from the 7th to the 13th
(inclusive). Because many of the systems are situated under the
floor, work will affect neighbouring floors that are not being
renovated.
Demolition will begin March 3 on the 8th, 9th and portions of the
10th floor.
During the work, you can expect noise and vibrations in the
building. A garbage chute on the south west facade of the building
will be used for the debris.
Special funding targeted to address infrastructure needs are making
these projects possible. The work has to proceed at an
exceptionally rapid pace, due to tight deadlines required by the
funding agencies.聽 We apologize for the inconvenience.
