The Atlantic Veterinary College at the University of Prince Edward Island is undertaking a five-year capital plan totaling approximately $27.1 million to upgrade its aging 330,000-square-foot HVAC system in order to maintain its institutional accreditation. Tim Walker, UPEI's vice-president of administration and finance, noted that the upgrades are required to ensure proper air circulation for animal care, student and faculty safety, and the handling of hazardous biomedical waste. The project will be carefully phased in over time to minimize disruptions to ongoing academic programs, clinical services, and regional interprovincial commitments.
