U of M enjoys building boom

Archiseek / Canada / News / 2007 / October 1

The University of Manitoba is riding a building boom not seen for decades. A new engineering and computer science complex, nursing building, the Richardson Nutraceutical facility, the Investors Group gym, all up and running. There are more than $66 million in construction projects under way, the largest of them the new $31 million pharmacy building on the downtown medical campus. And in 2010, U of M will take control of the 120 acres on the adjoining Southwood Golf Course. Retiring president Emoke Szathmary has presided over the university's largest transformation since the early 1970s. It began with the Pan Am Games and continued with a provincial-record $237 million capital campaign.
