Loyola construction continues apace

Students and faculty heading back to school this term will notice plenty of construction activity — from major masonry work to roof and window repairs — at the Loyola Campus.

Although interior noise and dust should be minimal, please call the Facilities Management Service Centre at 514-848-2424, ext. 2400, if the work is at all disruptive.
