Quartier Concordia

[Cataclaw]

I think Hotel de la Montagne is salvageable --- if --- we build something wall-to-wall to cover up those blind facades.

 

This here would have been nice:

The tunnel looks nearly ready to go. The tiling is finished, the lights are on, all that remains (I suspect) is adding doors and a few other minor touches.

 

The tiling inside can be described as similar to the tiling inside Place-des-Arts or Atwater Metro stations.

The tunnel that will connect the Hall and LB to the Metro looks to be complete and ready to open soon. I saw them working on the tunnel from the turnstiles next to the Uniprix

The tunnel linking Guy-Concordia metro station with the Hall and Library building looks like it will be open by mid-April at the latest; and might I say, it looks beautiful lol

 

If only the rest of the station could look as beautiful and modern as the tunnel *sigh*

 

Also, as Kotar said a few weeks ago: the new Centre for Structural and Functional Genomics began construction last week at the Loyola campus, and should be complete by March 2011. It'll cost $30 million (according to the Concordia University Journal), which has been allocated by the Knowledge Infrastructure Program.

Why is the Guy-Concordia station so bland/ugly. Even when it was new, it was the blandest station in the system. Did they anticipate water leakage and just say make it plain and to hell with the water?

lol. It sounded like a bloody train - and the door was locked at the end.

The tunnel linking the Hall and Library buildings to the metro is open

Indeed! I got to use today and it made me feel quite cool.

I'm wondering why they didn't put tiles on both walls though...
