Conexus building communities.
Building communities is at the heart of what we do. When the University of Regina put out a call for development partners for its College Avenue Campus renewal, our team jumped at the chance to help save this historic building. The project was a natural fit with our values around education, arts and culture. We put our co-operative principles to work, and we were thrilled when the university chose to partner with us.
Building a community for the future by preserving its history.
Through this partnership, Conexus is contributing $8.25 million in ongoing support to help revitalize College Avenue Campus.
Improvements include:
- Shared atrium
- Improved accessibility
- Shared technology and heating systems
Benefits to the public include:
- Over 20% of the building is shared public space
- Main floor amenities including public washrooms, an ATM, water filling stations and seating areas
- A living plant wall over 30 feet tall with 2,800 individually planted plants
Our Conexus head office sits at the College Avenue Campus, attached to the newly restored Darke Hall. Our business incubator, Cultivator, uses over 15,000 square feet of the building to support and mentor Saskatchewan entrepreneurs. The Conexus building spans 80,000 square feet, and sits west of Darke Hall, with a new atrium link connecting the two. That atrium helps the university save an estimated $10 million on infrastructure, maintenance and shared heating and cooling. The space is home to our corporate employees and Cultivator, giving us room to grow our entrepreneurial ecosystem.
