Multi-stage roof work project at E.T. Clarke Centre: Mid-June to Mid-July

Beginning next week, members of the McMaster community can expect construction activity near the campus GO Bus terminal as roof upgrades begin at the E.T. Clarke Centre. 

Work is scheduled to begin on Monday, June 15 and continue through early July. 

The project will focus on the removal and replacement of existing rooftop louvers, which will be updated with new sound-baffling systems. 

During this period, typical construction noise should be expected in the surrounding area as crews carry out removal and installation activities. The project will also involve workers operating at heights, including welding work required to dismantle and remove the existing louvers. 

Passersby may notice increased visual activity on the rooftop, including equipment and personnel. Safety protocols will be in place throughout the duration of the project. 

A second phase to install new louvers is expected to begin this fall.
