NEW – RAC SILO DEMOLITION

Contractor Verhagen Demolition, will begin removal of the Ruminant Animal Centre silos on Monday, September 18^th, 2017.   The process is scheduled to take place beginning September 18^th -25^th  with the more technical silo demolition happening within the first two days. The silos were damaged during an early evening fire in August of 2015 and have not been in use since.  The removal of the silos will certainly change the landscape of the Farm complex but we look forward to a new and innovative feed centre in the near future.

There will be restricted access to the Farm complex and Boulden Building during demolition.  Please watch for signage.
