Site work and new construction of an educational facility in Winnipeg, Manitoba. Design plans call for the construction of a 20,000-square-foot, four-story above grade educational facility; and for site work for a educational facility.

The University of Winnipeg has made the decision that Sparling Hall located in the centre of campus is at the end of its serviceable life and would like to explore possibilities for its replacement and the development of a new Student Success Centre in its place. The proposed new Student Success Centre is suggested to be approximately 20,000 square feet over 4 or more storeys - however the program document as part of this Proposal would inform the physical elements of the development. The development will include the transformation of "Lot B" (approx. 7,000 square feet in area) directly north of Sparling Hall into a pedestrian and bicycle friendly courtyard that complements the greenspace between Centennial Hall and Graham Hall and links to Marsha Hanen Way. The redevelopment of the Sparling Hall site for a new Student Success Centre is intended to be a high-performance building targeting Net Zero or Net Zero Ready status. Due to Sparling Hall's central location on campus, it has been considered an ideal location to house the central hub of a future district geothermal field planned for the campus and should be considered in the program document and schematic design of the new Student Success Centre. LEED Gold Certification may be pursued. The new Student Success Centre should demonstrate the University's values of accessibility, inclusion and reconciliation. The design should be considerate of the diversity of the campus and engage the campus and surrounding communities. The Student Success Centre should be a welcoming entrance into the centre of campus with ground floor access from both the south and north. The image of the new Student Success Centre should reflect the campus community it will serve. Incorporation of cultural elements and design concepts from the diverse University community is a project goal, and contributes to the University's to commitment to Reconciliation. TIMELINE: Preliminary design only. Project placed on hold. The anticipated construction budget of the project is approximately $15,000,000.00. Updates may be available late 2024.
