Sutherland told council that construction of the lot is expected to begin this spring with the lot ready by the fall. To compensate for the loss of recreational space, the university is revitalizing Normandy field by the Sackville Waterfowl Park for recreation and intramural sports.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The new Lansdowne lot will be needed especially in the short term, as the current gravel parking lot on Lansdowne will be used as a staging area for the construction project.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image aligncenter size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1191\" height=\"663\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1191px) 100vw, 1191px\" src=\"https:\/\/www.chmafm.com\/welcome\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/Location.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-54512\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.chmafm.com\/welcome\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/Location.jpg 1191w, https:\/\/www.chmafm.com\/welcome\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/Location-600x334.jpg 600w, https:\/\/www.chmafm.com\/welcome\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/Location-768x428.jpg 768w\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Detail from Mount Allison presentation to Tantramar council, November 25, 2024<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The new building is expected to open as an interim library in 2027, and then, by about 2030, it will be converted to a multi-sport complex. The final iteration of the building will include a community event space, facilities for various sports, as well as large tournaments and trade shows, said Sutherland.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In response to a question from Mayor Andrew Black, Sutherland explained he expected the community to have scheduled access times to the sports facility. \u201cSo we have very specific program times where those facilities are completely open to whoever in the community wants to be partaking of the walking track, the pickleball courts, whatever it is,\u201d he said. \u201cAnd then also working with the wider community and other organizations and initiatives to host tournaments, to have guest sporting teams coming in that are not necessarily visiting the university, but are coming to Tantramar.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image aligncenter size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1162\" height=\"641\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1162px) 100vw, 1162px\" src=\"https:\/\/www.chmafm.com\/welcome\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/Multi-sport-campus-view.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-54509\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.chmafm.com\/welcome\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/Multi-sport-campus-view.jpg 1162w, https:\/\/www.chmafm.com\/welcome\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/Multi-sport-campus-view-600x331.jpg 600w, https:\/\/www.chmafm.com\/welcome\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/Multi-sport-campus-view-768x424.jpg 768w\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Detail from Mount Allison presentation to Tantramar council, November 25, 2024<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Sutherland said that both the new facilities would be \u201cfirst and foremost for the students and faculty and staff the university, but they&#8217;re also for residents of Tantramar, at least for part or portion of the year.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Mount Allison has already started some of the work for the $95 million project.
