Please note that due to an ongoing project beside the Loyola Jesuit Hall and Conference Centre (RF) Building, a portion of the laneway behind Loyola that services the campus from West Broadway Street will be temporarily closed from Tuesday, April 3 to Monday, April 30.
The project, which will see the insertion of a new concrete slab behind the SP building, is being undertaken at this time to ensure that work in the vicinity is complete prior to the start of construction on the new Applied Science Hub.
During this time period the Jesuit parking lot (P2) will remain accessible via the lane way. To access the Terrebonne parking lot (P5) a new entrance will be temporarily opened off Terrebonne Street.
