Montreal is undertaking a major overhaul of its transportation networks and services, with major projects like the Réseau express métropolitain (REM) and the Pie-IX bus rapid transit (BRT) underway. To examine the impacts of projects that are under-construction on the travel behaviour and the health and well-being of Montreal residents, researchers at McGill University are inviting commuters to participate in the Montreal Mobility Survey.
Here are experts that can provide comment on the preliminary results:
Background | The Schulich Library of Physical Sciences, Life Sciences, and Engineering is closed temporarily for renovations for two years as of May 15, 2019. When the construction work is completed, the Schulich Library will feature: more study and workspaces, improved accessibility, restored exterior masonry, a new HVAC system, and an expanded number of washrooms.
Background: The Macdonald-Stewart Library Building that houses the Schulich Library of Physical Sciences, Life Sciences, and Engineering will undergo significant structural repairs and major internal upgrades over the next two years, beginning May 15, 2019. As a result, Schulich Library is now closed temporarily. Collections, services and staff will be relocated to the Humanities and Social Sciences Library for the duration of the renovation.
The Macdonald Campus Library is undergoing roof repairs that began in early June of 2018.
The Library will be open but there will likely be additional noise. We have earplugs on hand at the service desk should you need them. The windows must remain closed as there will be dust and debris in the surrounding air.
We apologize for any inconvenience and thank you for your patience.
