Health and Social Innovation Centre

A building like no other

January 2025

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

All the footings and foundations for the building are installed. We will continue to prepare footings for the north and south staircase system off the quad throughout the next couple of months. In late January, mass-timber installation will begin for the south portion of the building, the area towards the Canada Games Stadium. Pre-cast concrete wall systems will also be installed on the north side of the HSIC along with the installation of glazing along the east and west sides of the building.

At this time, the building has hoarding being installed to allow for the floor slabs to be poured on all levels throughout the month of January. This will help to mitigate winter weather issues while also allowing our mechanical, ventilation and electrical crews to begin work once the floor slabs have been completed.

Underground infrastructure upgrades within the quad area continues. This includes the replacement of storm and sanitary lines while also replacing all roofing materials on the existing tunnel system between Hazen Hall and Ganong Hall, extending across the front of the HSIC.

The installation of the roof continues.

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.
