Health and Social Innovation Centre

A building like no other

December 2024

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

All the footings and foundations are installed. In early January, mass-timber installation will begin for the south portion of the building, the area towards the Canada Games Stadium. In the new year pre-cast concrete will be installed on the north side of the HSIC along with the installation of glazing along other portions.

The floor slabs on all levels will be poured throughout the month of December and early January, assuming the weather cooperates. Once the pour slabs are complete, work on the installation of mechanical and electrical infrastructure will begin throughout the building.

A large amount of steel decking has been installed across all floors. Underground infrastructure upgrades within the quad area continues. This includes the replacement of storm and sanitary lines while also replace all roofing materials on the existing tunnel system between Hazen Hall and Ganong Hall, extending across the front of the HSIC.

Some portions of the roof are also currently being installed and will continue over the next two to three months.

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.
