Construction Begins Posted on June 27, 2012 at 2:16 pm. The college ceremoniously broke ground on the final phase of its three-phase expansion project at the Whitby campus last December. This final phase will see the completion of the new Centre for Food (CFF), an incredible new learning facility designed to accommodate approximately 900 additional students studying in culinary, hospitality, tourism, agriculture and horticulture programs. More recently, preliminary construction activities officially began with trucks arriving on campus and the fencing going up around the construction site. The construction crew has begun preparing the site by clearing and grading it to allow foundation forming and concrete pouring to begin the structure of the CFF, which is set to open in September 2013. Durham College is committed to sharing ongoing construction updates, milestones and project details with employees and the community. SHARE:
