Scope of work:

  • Installation of protective structures where required.
  • Installation of scaffolding over the roof of the adjacent building (Leacock) and on the front façade of the Arts Building.
  • Use of a crane to load new stones onto the scaffolding.
  • Installation of new stones and completion of masonry joints.
  • Cleaning of façades and removal of temporary installations.

Impact & mitigation:

  • There will be increased traffic of trucks around the work site. Signallers will be present to control circulation during stone loading operations.
  • Protective structures will be installed over the west entrance of the Arts Building and over the east exit of the Leacock Building
  • Pedestrians will not be able to cross from the Arts Building to the Leacock Building but will rather have to walk around the Redpath Museum to reach the Leacock Building.
