CHARLOTTETOWN, P.E.I. — Construction is underway on a new residence at UPEI.
The nine-storey, 260-bed residence will also feature lecture halls, a multi-purpose space and a theatre.
Charlottetown city council gave its approval for the project earlier this year. It is expected to be completed by 2022 in advance of the 2023 Canada Winter Games.
The province and UPEI are partnering on the $60-million project.
