Health and Social Innovation Centre

A building like no other

August 2026

Progress on the Health and Social Innovation Centre (HSIC) continues.

Concrete will continue to be placed within and around the building.

The inclement weather slows the progress of exterior work like civil, roofing, glazing, etc. but will not stop it.

Glazing and roof installation will continue as sections of the building progress to help achieve a water-tight building envelope.

The building hoardings will be secured and added on an on-going basis to help mitigate weather issues while wall framing, insulation, drywall, plumbing, ventilation, and electrical work progresses.

As sections become available interior finishes such as painting, floor polishing and flooring are moving forward.

Integrated Systems like fire alarm, sprinkler, network, lighting, audio/visual and heating/cooling/ventilation set-up and programming have started.

Underground infrastructure upgrades within the quad area continues with landscaping to follow.

Please note the tunnels leading through the new home of the HSIC remain closed.

For safety purposes everyone is encouraged to avoid the construction zones and to use the pedestrian tunnel between Hazen Hall and Oland Hall in lieu of exiting onto the quad.
