NEIL CRAWFORD CENTRE
Neil Crawford Centre Community Letter September 10, 2018

SOUTH CAMPUS
In March, 2019, the University of Alberta updated community leagues on the status of construction on the farm:

  • Two soccer fields will be constructed near the 63rd avenue farm entrance this summer. The fields will be ready for the 2020 soccer seasons. One will be sunken (like Lendrum’s soccer field).
  • To address recent pedestrian-vehicle incidents, the roads adjacent to the Saville Centre will see construction this summer to improve pedestrian crossing safety.
  • This year, the University will expand available parking around the Saville Centre and charge $1.50 a night for users. The gravel parking lot near the LRT will be available at night once the parking fees are in place.
  • Near the 60th avenue entrance to the farm, a two-story building called “The Cube” will be built over the next two years. “The Cube” will be about the size of large house and will facilitate the future power needs of south campus.
  • The “feed mill” (a structure adjacent to the South West of the Saville Centre) will be demolished in the next year and its functions transferred to the Discovery Centre (the large building at the end of 60th street).
  • A double arena is planned to the West of Saville Centre. The City has committed funding but the project needs additional funds to proceed.
  • The Department of Kinesiology is exploring the possibility of a cross country ski trail on the farm close to the Saville Centre where existing lighting can be used.
  • Demolition of some Mitchener Park residences will start as soon as the buildings are vacated. The university will transfer the land to the University Land Trust. The Trust has not identified a final use for the land.
  • The University is doing a broad consultation on the University’s public role.
