I recall, from my time at UVic, that the lack of shelters was pretty bad at this time of the year.

Couple that with the regular pass ups and ultra full buses, I eventually packed it in and started to drive.

Know it all.

There are often people waiting. However, IIRC, there wasn't shelters in front of the bookstore before the work was done either, so...

Snapped a quick photo of Building 2 on my way to class yesterday. The cladding on the east façade facing Ring Rd appears to be largely finished and scaffolding is coming down from that side. They were also pouring some concrete in for the unfinished other half of the new plaza space between the two buildings.

Has building 1 been fully completed now? I know they opened up the dorms last fall, but the rest of the building was still being worked on.

Looks like it, all patches of missing cladding have been filled and the landscaping out front was done not too long ago. All the focus seems to be shifted on the second building and the rest of the surroundings now.

Building Two photo update - the cladding went up quick that they're actually starting to take down the scaffolding out front now.

Just add a few hovercars and some flames venting off the roof and you've got a scene straight out of a Bladerunner sequel.
