University Heights: Waterloo and College Space

university heights: The modernization of Conestoga's Waterloo campus, due to be finished in less than two years, is an important polish-up for the college's University Avenue image in the two-university town of Waterloo, according to The Waterloo Record. Conestoga took over the former University Heights Secondary School building in 2006, putting culinary and skilled trades programs into the aging structure. It'll look like a post-secondary institution of 2018, Conestoga president John Tibbits said after a formal announcement was made in Waterloo on Monday. It's a wonderful facility, but I think we need to ratchet it up, Tibbits said. College space on the site will be doubled by a 150,000-square-foot expansion to wrap around what was once the last vocational school in Waterloo Region. So the school built in 1968 will be enveloped by the new Conestoga addition. (www.immigrantscanada.com). As reported in the news.
