York University’s Markham campus is taking shape.
The end goal is a “living, breathing campus,” said Bud Purves, president of York University Development Corporation – the development branch of the university.
But there are still many steps ahead of the proposed 2020 open.
Purves provided a road map for what lies ahead during a recent Markham university committee meeting.
The university is currently testing the soil, looking at the area water table and conducting a traffic study of the five-acre property on the south side of Enterprise Boulevard, just west of the Markham Pan Am Centre.
All this will help determine the best location for the building at the site, Purves added.
The university is also exploring the option of a building a site office in Markham in the fall.
“York (University) wants to have a presence in Markham prior to opening,” he said. “We’re not going to build a building, then open the doors and say, ‘We’re here.’”
