230 million bucks, still no curtains for maccorry
as an addendum to my previous post about the wildly entertaining 'clarence' building, i thought i'd see if there were any other wildly outrageous developments in the works happening locally. then i thought, oh right, that queen's centre thingy.
yes indeed. the queen's centre, the 230 million (all numbers CDN$) will devour most of the entire block behind the jduc and pec (the curling arena has already vamoosed to its new home out off days road). here's a more detailed look than you will find on the queen's site.

with a pic or two of their vision...
and...an indoor shot!
those must be commerce students gathered around - they're all one dimensional and vacuous.
of course there's always the queen's site with its in-depth coverage of the boondoggle (note the 'october 2004' in the address... up-to-date-tastic!) - the news section is a bit more recent, although a lot should have happened between August 15th of last year and now... but who knows?
and yet maccorry, the much maligned and seldom loved arts building goes without proper working blinds for another year.
in other queen's happenings, did anyone know that they've bought this building?
it'll be used for family medical activities.
in fact there's a lot of activity happening around queen's - just look at the site for more info!
major capital projects
my fav is the Botterell Hall Addition that gives the following information...
"Construction documents are underway for the construction of an addition over the loading dock of Botterell Hall from level 4 to 9. The top level will house a transgenic mouse colony while the other levels will be shelled in only. Construction will start in the fall."
transgenic mouse colony?
