Armouries Transformation Continues (GALLERY)

Construction continues at the Windsor Armouries site to transform it to the School of Creative Arts at the University of Windsor.

Workers are currently working on digging a basement into the facility to create more classroom space.

Principal Architect on the project from CS&P Architects Craig Goodman says it's an exciting step. "A lot of work to go but we're feeling good about the process now because we can see it sort of unfolding now."

Completion of the project is forecast for September 2017.
