Construction is continuing on the long-awaited Fitness Centre expansion on South Street near Dalplex. Demolition of existing buildings is now complete and rock drilling and blasting will begin during the week of November 9 to 13.

Blasting will be done in a series of approximately three small charge blasts per day.  Before each blast occurs pedestrian and vehicular traffic will be stopped on South Street and within the Dalplex lot. The blasting is anticipated to last two to three weeks. Dalhousie University made the decision to use a combination of breaking with hydraulic hammer and blasting to shorten the duration of rock excavation.

For any questions or concerns that may arise during the course of this necessary work, please contact Director of Capital Projects, Alex Walker at 902-494-1071 or alex.walker@dal.ca. We thank you for your understanding.
