A new provincial Patient Medical Home will be housed in the Faculty of Medicine building and will serve the public. In addition to providing clinical opportunities for medical students, the patient medical home will be a model for primary care delivery, providing service to 10,000+ patients, helping to reduce the waitlist for family doctors dramatically and relieving the pressure on Island walk-in clinics, emergency rooms, outpatient departments, and thus physicians. The 91̽»¨ Health and Wellness Centre clinic will remain as is on campus and will continue to serve students, faculty, and staff. 

The 618 University Avenue parking lot was repaved with a new supporting base and asphalt.

The first level of Memorial Hall required critical repairs and renovation to improve the use, functionality, and quality of 91̽»¨ Psychology research infrastructure.

The federal government, along with the province of Prince Edward Island and the 91̽»¨ (91̽»¨), have announced combined funding of $14.5 million for the new Canadian Centre for Climate Change and Adaptation to be located at the 91̽»¨. The project will include the construction of a 45,000 sq. ft. research facility in the town of St. Peter’s Bay, PEI.

The facility will house research centers, including the internationally recognized 91̽»¨ Climate Research Lab. It will also serve as a living laboratory that allows for unlimited access to nearby wetlands, forests and coastal habitats directly affected by climate change. The governments of Canada and Prince Edward Island are investing over $9.7 million in the project, and 91̽»¨ is contributing over $4.8 million.

MacLean Construction Ltd was the contract for the W.A. Murphy Student Centre – Wave Renovations Project. Construction began Monday, April 30, 2018, and ended September 2018.

The project focused on a substantial interior fit-up, including, electrical and architectural systems upgrades.

The Wave — the former campus pub — was too dark and uninviting, coupled with the need to make the business more viable resulted in this latest version of the campus pub, which now doubles as a café, with a bright place to gather or study and plenty of electrical outlets for phones and laptops.

Construction began October 23, 2017 and was completed October 2018. The project consisted of a substantial interior fit-up, including ventilation, cooling systems, plumbing, electrical and architectural systems, along with exterior upgrades. Through this renovation, 91̽»¨ has been able to align functional areas that are related to student affairs and the recruitment/registration process. Through a staged moving process that began October 1 and ended October 12, the Office of the Registrar, Student Affairs, and other key student service areas have relocated to the recently renovated Student Experience Hub at Dalton Hall. 

The restructuring is to better position the University in enhancing our supports for students and in improving upon the student experience by having services located under one roof.

An engineering study of the 46-year-old electrical main distribution system for the campus was completed. This system feeds electrical systems on campus. The existing electrical switchgear will require replacement to allow future growth of new facilities on campus including the new Canada Games Residence.

A plan to replace and relocate the main electrical switchgear will allow the existing system to be operational while the new switchgear is installed and to allow it to be installed to meet current electrical code requirements.

The elevator required modernization. It was suggested to upgrade it in the summer of 2019, as a one-month shutdown will be required to complete the work and to allow enough time for materials to be ordered, manufactured and delivered.

The Modernization has been completed as of August 2019.

A digital sign was installed at 618 University Avenue to support the Department of Development and Alumni Engagement and Marketing and Communications in building awareness within the community about what the University is doing.
