That's great news.

As someone who lives a couple blocks from the Back Alley stampede tent, I can say that it definitely does suck. But at least it's only for 2 weeks every year.

I live within earshot of the Ranchman's and indeed it does suck. Hearing Cadillac Ranch and Fishin' in the Dark hourly for 10 days gets old really fast haha.

I'll be honest, I thought that whole concept that was a pretty pie-in-the-sky proposal, but is great news. Even if the end result looks nothing like it, and all this does is add a bunch of students to the area and that park, that's a huge bonus. Assuming it's students who like to get out and about, not just a bunch of anti-social nerds.

They'll be SAPL students. So they'll be anti-social nerds

They're School of Architecture, Planning and Landscape. So hopefully future forum'ers haha

Mostly professional grad students.

Looks like this redevelopment/expansion is starting on 17th.

Awesome news about Nexen! wonder what the budget for that is, looks like an expensive upgrade!

Since it is just a quick article mention curious about the numbers too. See what the university says. I assume the non-living spaces won't be ready to go until Fall 2026? For the residences, probably after that.

It is actually pretty cool that tower is becoming a vertical University Campus.
