The project includes repurposing the North House, a significant protected structure around which the Academic Hub rises.
The main entrance hall to the library will be placed in the eastern section of the North House, at the first-floor level – reflecting the pivotal role of this mid-19th-century institutional building. With the library entry raised above the ground floor, the street level of the Academic Hub will be free-flowing and civic, hosting student commons, student supports, an exhibition space, and a cafe.
The overall Phase 1 development will comprise approximately 12,626m2 of development with 9,505m2 of New Build construction and the balance comprising the retained elements of the North House East and North House West protected structures.
