Why not more?

In anticipation of students returning to campus, U of O has begun construction around the Laurier Department of Visual Art (LRR), in addition to the five-year construction project on Tabaret Hall.  

Following decisions determined by throwing dice, U of O began unannounced construction on the facility in late July / early August. “We really wanted to be proactive this year, with students only a month away from enjoying campus life”, a construction worker with two belts informed us.

Amongst conversations with students, there was contention about the right time to start construction. “The u of O is not doing a decent enough job with their [construction] projects falling on important academic events,” said Dig N. Holes, a second-year economics student,  told us. “I want to be unable to take any pictures around campus come graduation time.”

 Bill Dozer, a fourth-year civil engineering student was willing to forgive Uof O’s mismanagement of time, “Whatever their reasons, I am coming around to forgiving them. I missed the big black tarp that was around Montpetit two years ago. It’s really nice to see it back”.
