Met a Macewan employee today headmanning this project. They intended to start construction in 2023 and open for students in 2027. When Jason Kenney was Premier, they felt confident in their lobbying and meetings that the building was going to get funded. Now with Premier Smith, they are much less confident, which may lead to a delay. We shall see.

You wouldn't happen to be in a certain policy studies master's cohort, would you? Because I heard a very similar thing today from a Macewan employee too haha

Knowing her (our version of Trump) - she'll put it in some southern boondock town where the population is 100% uneducated, blue collar, anti vac'er types......the only demographic she seems to be appeasing..
 
Well even then, they've been messing with Athabasca University, and trying to force staff of an online University to move to Athabasca, which makes a lot of sense to move several hundred people and their families to a community of 1500 people just so they can continue to do the job that they've successfully been doing online for years... so even if you're rural or in a small town you're not safe. Pretty sure she hates education in general, so it won't get better under her.

Athabasca University will remain online -- the proposal is only to locate more staff and faculty to the town of Athabasca.
 
^mostly online, for there are many courses that require some onsite participation.

I'd be curious to know where they expect all of these people to live given the lack of housing there (at least in the short-term).

I had the pleasure of updating their labs and finishing up their ARC building; loved my time in that community. It's a shame they didn't have a more developed little waterfront for day trips from Edmonton and to help support the push to live there.
