Aging roads, signs and lighting at Assiniboine Community College’s North Hill campus will get badly needed upgrades, with $5 million in provincial funding announced this afternoon.
Much of the infrastructure at the North Hill campus dates back to the days of the Brandon Mental Health Centre. Scheduled for improvement are some of the campus’ roads, parking, bus routes, outdoor lighting, security, direction signage and underground services such as sewer and water.
"The relocation of ACC is a vision of future prosperity for this learning institution which is an integral part of western Manitoba, offering some of the very best post-secondary training in the province," said Advanced Education and Literacy Minister Erin Selby, who was at ACC to make the announcement. "Our government is proud to have supported this state-of-the-art facility from the very beginning."
The relocation of ACC to the former Brandon Mental Health Centre at its First Street location began in 2005.
"2011 marks Assiniboine Community College’s 50th anniversary of providing high-quality training in Manitoba," said Mark Frison, president, ACC. "This site services plan marks an important step forward in planning for the further development of the North Hill campus which will undoubtedly serve ACC well for the next 50 years."
The continued relocation of the campus will have a focus on energy efficiency and environmental stewardship, and will set the stage for future development of sustainable buildings following the requirements of the Green Building Policy, Selby said.
