Work continues to progress on the 730 Yonge improvements project.

The General Contractor for the main phase of construction is Rossclair. Over the past month, they have been continuing with selected demolition inside the retail units on the east and south sides of the ground floor of the building.  These activities include things such as: removal of finishes; mechanical and electrical demolition; etc. This work produces low to moderate noise.  New ductwork is currently being installed in the retail space.  The reconfiguration of the service corridors for the retail units has also begun.

Starting the week of August 2^nd, a scaffold and overhead protection will be erected on the Yonge St elevation of the building. There will be special access to the TD bank machines and emergency stairwell on this side. New cladding and a refresh of the façade will begin after this point.

On the west side of the building a hoarding has been erected around the old Captain Printworks unit.  Demolition has begun in this space.  As above, the current work will produce low to moderate noise.

Updates will continue to be posted throughout the building and messaged to the Residence team and the Tenant’s Association Executive for distribution. Electronic updates will be communicated via email and on our website as well.

We ask for your continued patience and understanding as we make these necessary improvements to our facilities. If you have any questions or concerns, please email us at communications.ufh@utoronto.ca

This type of work will next occur the week of June 14, and should take approximately 4-5 days restricted to the hours between 9am and noon. Main contract work is expected to be substantially complete by the end of September 2021.
