Campus Reports – 2014
University of Waterloo:
A two year old Environmental building has won a LEEDS award, which incorporates an interior living wall with plants interweaved into a mesh blanket that has water flowing throughout and cleans and balances building humidity. There are also lawn rainwater capture areas that are used for building gray water, such as toilets.
– There are three new multi-million dollar buildings in construction phase for Administration, Biology and a food services production kitchen and a Health Science addition.
– A hiring freeze began in the New Year with the exception of mission critical hiring.
– Pledge cards started off slowly but the pace has increased due to the unstable employment threat and the Provincial election.
– Four abandoned Rim/Blackberry buildings have been purchased for future administration and classroom usage.
