Orange Tarps on the Rideau

Here's a faux-Polariod i shot about a month ago, on one of my first bike rides of the year. Evidently, uOttawa is rebuilding the entire western half of its Lees Avenue campus from the ground up, part of a larger modernization project. The OOE Mainstreeter has an article here. For many years the eastern campus of Algonquin College, the post-secondary facility opened as the Eastern Ontario Technical Institute (EOTI) in the fall of 1964. Prior to WWII, the site was a garbage dump.

Here's a "long, low" shot of the original buildings from August 1964 via the Ottawa Citizen.
