Isabel Bader Centre Under Construction

The live video above (click for a larger view) shows the future Isabel Bader Centre for the Performing Arts on King Street West, scheduled to be home to the Department of Film and Media starting in Fall 2013. In preparation for the new construction, clearing of the site and restoration of the existing walls of the Stella Buck Building is complete. These historic walls will soon surround faculty offices, seminar rooms, studio, and computing lab (in the central tower) for the Department.

If you're watching this at night, take a look for Cornelius Driscoll, the night watchman ghost of the old Morton Brewery.

Here are some August 2011 photos of the initial demolition work at the Stella Buck, former site of the Morton Brewery:

By early October 2011, all the later additions to the heritage walls had been removed:

Stay tuned for further updates on construction. See also architect's renderings of the completed building.
