SAM Centre by Stampede Park and a bonus horse statue picture because I know how much everyone here loves them Building seems nice and will probably see more activity once the new arena is built, provided the design doesn't turn its back to the eastern side. My one comment only is that it's disappointing they didn't do a better job with the landscaping to tie in the Rundle Ruins with the property. The connection seems like a complete after thought where as they could have created an obvious pathway from the southern courtyard to the ruins.

Thanks! Not out of the woods yet but excited to go home. Post shingles nerve pain can last for months.

More Seton commercial stuff.

Sure, let's kick out a dozen small businesses, some of which are absolutely beloved in the community, because we don't like the way the strip mall looks.

Nm, has it's own thread apparently

This might be too general a construction update for this forum seeing as how it's in a different province, but the Museum of Anthropology at UBC has demolished and completely rebuilt the landmark Great Hall for seismic reasons, and the 85-year old architect (Nick Milkovich) who oversaw the work began his career as a student of Erickson working on the original hall. Good article/interview here. More info on the rebuild here. Very cool project; it reopens this weekend.

Very cool. I think they could have cut 2 minutes out of the video and achieved the same result though lol.

New fencing going up around the old funeral hone and vacant lot beside it on 17/15 Ave and 1/2nd St SW. Not sure if it's to keep the druggies away or if there is something happening there.
