The University of New Brunswick Saint John is embarking on a fundraising campaign to come up with the remaining money for it’s Commons Building.
The $25 million dollar project already has 80 per cent of it’s capital raised, and Vice President Dr. Robert McKinnon tells CHSJ News, the last 20 per cent is always the hardest to raise, but is confident the fundraising team can do it.
McKinnon says the new commons building will be LEEDS Silver certified, and while it’s more expensive to construct, it will pay off in the long run.
Planning for construction is ongoing right now, and McKinnon says the plan is to have students in the building next year.
