New Tabaret dome… coming this July!

It was slightly alarming to see construction fencing going up around a large portion of the lovely green space in front of Tabaret Hall at the University of Ottawa this spring, followed by the erection of scaffolding. However, it turns out this will be a temporary situation. The dome that caps the administration building’s gracious interior staircase and lets natural light shine down through the central rotunda is due for replacement. The lawn will be a staging ground for the construction of the new dome, which is scheduled to be hoisted into place in July.
