The University of Saskatchewan is planning to begin construction on its Academic Health Sciences Centre in Saskatoon by July of 2007. Estimated to cost between $140 million and $160 million, the facility is expected to be comprised of two buildings. The first would be attached to the existing Health Sciences structure and would house BSL-2 laboratory space and an animal research facility. The second building would house a 500-seat lecture hall, meeting rooms, a new school of public health, and a relocated health sciences library.
