Construction has resulted in four neighbouring properties being evacuated
UBC Properties Trust has started construction again on the University of BC Okanagan downtown Kelowna campus project.
Excavating work had previously been on hold as four neighbouring buildings, the latest being low-income apartments Hadgraft Wilson Place, were evacuated after the structures began to crack and deteriorate.
The work is expected to take two weeks. Engineering teams are expected to be monitoring soil conditions and sharing progress with city staff and Pathways Abilities Society, the organization overseeing Hadgraft. Residents from Hadgraft Wilson Place were informed on April 5 that it would be at least another two weeks before they may get to return home.
