Planned maintenance projects

New, wider elevators should be in operation in the Hall Building by mid-September, according to Johanne Malo, Director of Project Management Services.

“This type of work is difficult, because we’re working on an existing structure that’s under constant use, so we often encounter unforeseen delays,” she said.
Work has been underway for several months to make the elevator shafts wider and modernize the communications system in the elevators. On most floors the work affected adjacent bathrooms, so these facilities are being refreshed all the way from the below-ground-level D.B. Clarke Theatre to the top of the building.

The 80 little clients of the Concordia Day Care Centre will have new quarters and a new outdoor playground next fall. The day care centre, which has operated in the former Masonic Hall at St. Marc and Sherbrooke Sts. for a number of years, will move into the west wing of the Grey Nuns facility, whose entrance is on St. Mathieu St.

Upcoming maintenance projects include the mortar around the glass bricks of the McConnell library complex, the renovation of two amphitheatres (H-620 and H-820), an interior staircase in the TD Bank building (owned but not yet occupied by Concordia) and the roof of the VA Building.
