Kinda frustrating to see a serviceable building getting demolished when Norquest is surrounded by a sea of gravel surface lots that would all be closer to the coming LRT stations.

I'm not sure if Norquest are still sticking to their Campus Master Plan from a couple years ago, but the plan had initially called for the new building (TRCCC is what they were calling it) to go up on the Northwest Corner of 108 Street and 102 Avenue.
Calder-Bateman demo might just be for temp parking lol.

Man I just had a look at that master plan, their 2050 vision for the campus looks pretty amazing.

Not for a parking lot. This is the start of the development of the 108th Street block and there will be no new surface parking lots on it. The city wouldn't permit it, and NQ needs to make the most of the land bank that they have. That being said, regarding the CB building, the college needs the land to expand onto, but the existing building is a) expensive to run and b) not accessible for staff and students which is the bare minimum for use as a public institution. The building is 100 years old and has tremendous deferred maintenance, which the GoA doesn't want on the books. The college tried to make use of the building but it didn't work out, so it has to go. It fits with their master plan as a new park that will initially seem out of place will eventually be part of a campus quad that will fit in an east-west orientation and tie 109 Street to the front door of the existing campus on 108 Street.
