The University of Winnipeg’s newest addition, Leatherdale Hall, broke ground on campus on June 10. The hall is a $4.75-million addition to U of W’s Wesley Hall and Collegiate building.

Construction on the hall was supported by the late Dr. Douglas W. Leatherdale and his wife, Louise, who donated $2.5 million to the project in November 2015. Another $1 million has come through in private donations since that time, making the project viable. Once finished, the hall can be used as a lecture hall, break-out space and digital media hub.

“I am honoured to be part of today’s celebration and I know Doug would be very pleased to see the incredible progress being made here today. Leatherdale Hall will be a beautiful addition to Wesley Hall, and a much needed offshoot to Convocation Hall,” Louise said in a release.

“I look forward to seeing the project come to life and most importantly, seeing it serve the community as a vibrant meeting place and centre of academic life.”
