Toronto architect Jack Diamond, who drafted the 2002 facilities master plan for Mount Allison, contends the Memorial could be retained (for offices and meetings rooms) and accommodated within a new fine arts centre.
This week, he wrote to board of regents president Robert Campbell, submitting renderings of that proposed integration and offering to undertake further analysis on a pro bono basis. His offer was promptly rejected.
“It’s just sad,” Mr. Diamond said. “It could have been a win-win. Would it have cost a little more? Perhaps. But it would have been worth it.”
Bet it would have cost less than what the university will lose in alumni donations. Not exactly sure what was wrong with this plan.
