The plan is to start construction on that building this summer, which means closing the existing Lansdowne parking lot next door.

The school\u2019s communications department confirmed that the new parking lot is \u201cintended as a permanent solution to address the growing need for parking on campus.\u201d The new parking lot will be built starting this summer and is expected to open in the fall.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Lansdowne Field is more than twice the size of the current parking lot on Lansdowne. CHMA has asked the university for details on the size of the proposed new lot, but have yet to hear back.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Inglis told council that the administration was \u201cin conversations with the athletic department,\u201d about the potential to replace the use of Lansdowne Field with Normandy Field, over beside the Sackville Waterfowl Park, \u201crecognizing that Lansdowne will be out of service for a bit.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cWe do have a little bit of a parking issue on campus,\u201d said Inglis. \u201cAnd so we didn&#8217;t want to make this project make the parking issue worse. In fact, this will probably make it better.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Most of Tuesday\u2019s meeting focussed on the <a href=\"https:\/\/mta.ca\/about\/leadership-and-governance\/strategic-planning\/planning-and-construction\/rp-bell-library-hub\">proposal for the Ralph Pickerd Bell library renovation<\/a>.

Black paid special attention to a proposed second entrance for the library facing onto York Street.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cThe community entrance, I think is a really huge piece,\u201d said Black, noting that the current entrance facing the campus quad might give the impression that the library is not open to community use, when in fact it is. \u201cHaving that community entrance facing right downtown into Sackville, I think is going to be a wonderful addition,\u201d said Black, \u201cand have it more welcoming and uniting to the community.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Inglis said the project leaders have heard \u201cloud and clear the comment about community.&#8221; He said the school was adding the York Street entrance because it was \u201cthe right thing to do.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cWe always had been part of the community,\u201d said Inglis, \u201cfor well over 180 years.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image aligncenter size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1280\" height=\"728\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1280px) 100vw, 1280px\" src=\"https:\/\/www.chmafm.com\/welcome\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/Screen-Shot-2024-03-22-at-11.43.35-AM-1280x728.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-42124\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.chmafm.com\/welcome\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/Screen-Shot-2024-03-22-at-11.43.35-AM-1280x728.png 1280w, https:\/\/www.chmafm.com\/welcome\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/Screen-Shot-2024-03-22-at-11.43.35-AM-768x437.png 768w, https:\/\/www.chmafm.com\/welcome\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/Screen-Shot-2024-03-22-at-11.43.35-AM-1536x873.png 1536w, https:\/\/www.chmafm.com\/welcome\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/Screen-Shot-2024-03-22-at-11.43.35-AM-2048x1164.png 2048w, https:\/\/www.chmafm.com\/welcome\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/Screen-Shot-2024-03-22-at-11.43.35-AM-1320x750.png 1320w\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Rendering of new Mount Allison building from Lansdowne Street.
