The first building of the new Outremont Yards campus, the 650,000-sq.-ft. science complex at the Université de Montréal will provide a home for 2,200 students in the fields of biological science, physics, chemistry, geography, and materials engineering.
Financial contributions from the provincial and federal governments helped to cover costs associated with the decontamination of the site, which also includes five hectares for green space. The project is expected to be completed in time for the start of the 2019-2020 school year.
