CONTRACT AWARDED FOR UVIC’S
CENTRE FOR ATHLETICS, RECREATION AND SPECIAL ABILITIES:
The University of Victoria is pleased to announce that Campbell
Construction Ltd. has been awarded the contract for the Centre for Athletics,
Recreation and Special Abilities (CARSA), the university’s newest capital
project.
The CARSA
facility will include the UVic Vikes and sports and recreation programs as well
as new offices, labs and a machine shop for UVic’s CanAssist, which develops
customized technologies, programs and services for people living with
disabilities. The total project budget for the CARSA facility and adjacent
parkade is $77 million. Occupancy is targeted for spring 2015.
Site preparation
will begin as early as Feb. 25, 2013, at the intersection of Gabriola Road and
McKenzie Avenue. In preparation for construction, parking lot 3 off Gabriola
Road will be permanently closed. The Alumni Chip Trail through the construction
zone will also be closed during the project to ensure public safety, and access
to playing fields 1, 2 and 3 will change. Pedestrians and cyclists are asked to
consult directional information posted on site and use detour routes as
required. Alternative nearby parking areas are lots 2, 4 and 7.
