Starting in February 2024, the greenhouse will be closed to remove decommissioned equipment and asbestos from mechanical rooms in the Henry F. Hall (H) Building.
Timeline:
February 2024 to the winter 2025 term
Overview:
The 13th and 14th floors of the Hall Building will be closed to remove decommissioned equipment and asbestos from mechanical rooms. The work is expected to take about a year, during which — for health and safety reasons — Concordia’s external contractor will have exclusive access to certain areas at a time.
The work will be phased to ensure Facilities Management maintains access to essential building systems throughout the construction.
Alternative greenhouse locations during the work period:
The university is working closely with the Concordia Greenhouse to minimize the impacts on the organization’s operations and plant life, including identifying what functions can be transferred elsewhere.
A temporary greenhouse will be set up in the space between the Terrebonne (TA-TB) Building and the People’s Potato Community Garden on the Loyola Campus. Existing microgreens will be moved to the TB Building basement.
The Concordia Greenhouse is also in contact with specialized movers to find ways to relocate its large planters.
Mental health resources on campus:
Those seeking mental health support during the work period can use existing options available on campus.
- Connect to wellness with Concordia’s Zen Dens — on-campus and online.
- Explore physical and virtual social spaces to connect with peers, relax, chat, eat and drink.
