Project Description
Completed in 2015, Marpeck Commons houses Canadian Mennonite University’s new 10,000 sq. ft. library and creates a new hub for the campus with a bookstore, coffee and snack bar, and student study areas. The range of activities links the learning of the classroom with cutting edge research techniques.
A new skywalk spanning Grant Avenue connects the Marpeck Commons and campus buildings on the north side of the property to the campus buildings on the south side of CMU’s campus, creating a hub on both sides and makes the bridge an important component in enhancing safety and accessibility.
The Marpeck Commons grounds include 100 new trees, a naturalized pond, a low fence and gentle pathways that will welcome community members in.
