We have exciting news! At Saint Mary’s University, we are looking at ways to further develop our campus. We are beginning the process of adding a new building behind the Loyola Academic Complex and the Sobey School of Business. The building will be the same height as the Sobey Building, standing four storeys tall. Our first steps are to remove the 5907 Gorsebrook Avenue house, with demolition beginning in May 2021. We are expecting our students to enter this new building in the Fall of 2023.
What impacts will the construction have on traffic and parking?
Trucks will access the back parking lot via Robie Street for the demolition phase. For all other phases, trucks will have access via Robie Street and Tower Road.
What time will construction workers be on site?
Working with the noise bylaws in Halifax, construction will generally occur 7 a.m. - 4 p.m
Will there be any blasting of rock during construction?
There will be a small amount of rock breaking as this structure will not have a full basement.
Will there be any interruption in my power or water supply?
We will keep interruptions to a minimum, performing this type of work overnight when possible.
Have additional questions or concerns?
