Mount Allison University’s new multi-sport complex, library and parking lot are now expected to be completed by 2030, one year later than planned.
A major project at Sackville’s Mount Allison University will not be finished until 2030, a year later than previously announced, and the cost has risen by $10 million.
The renovation of the library, construction of a new multi-sports facility, and the addition of a parking lot are now expected to cost $95 million.
The project will first see a multi-sport complex built to house the library during renovations of the current library building. Once the library is restored, the multi-sports complex will be completed for use as a gym and athletics building.
The original plan was to break ground last summer, with a goal of opening the interim library in 2026 and all construction to be completed by 2029.
