Revitalization Project
University College’s Revitalization Project broke ground in January 2018. A highly anticipated construction project designed to update the front interior of UC and refurbish the Quad, came to fruition after years of planning.
In 2015, the College hired John Shnier of Kohn Shnier Architects and Graeme Stewart of heritage-specialist ERA Architects, who created a plan to modernize the building and vastly improve accessibility, while enhancing its heritage features.
