A gala soiree will be held on May 18 at the University Club to celebrate the winners. This year, the French Embassy has greatly contributed to the event both with financial support and a multimedia prize. In lieu of gifts, donations to the John W. ApSimon Chemistry Scholarship Fund would be greatly appreciated. Brick finish on the stair towers and north wall is expected to start shortly. The existing elevator cab has been removed in preparation for the expanded service installation.
Mackenzie elevators are available for access to upper levels.
Roofing installation is continuing on the penthouse roofs and insulation and gravel ballast is now being installed on the main roof. The atrium extension for the new stair from Level 4 to Level 5 has been framed in and when roofing and wall enclosures are installed the existing sloped roof will be removed. Stairs have been installed in the extended exit towers and as soon as the walls are enclosed the existing roof will be removed and the new stair linked to the existing. Partitions have been roughed in on Level 6 and 7. Work on the Level 5 Lecture Theatre will start now and this will be given priority.
