UBC Properties Trust has started construction again on the University of BC Okanagan downtown Kelowna campus project.
Excavating work had previously been on hold as four neighbouring buildings, the latest being low-income apartments Hadgraft Wilson Place, were evacuated after the structures began to crack and deteriorate.
Excavation work resumed on April 9.
In an email to Black Press, Media Relations Strategist with UBCO Patty Wellborn wrote, “We are advised by professional engineers that the shoring wall remains stable and that raising the excavation depth will also mitigate future soil settlement on adjacent land, including Hadgraft Wilson Place (HWP).
