This helps us simulate the impact of adding more buildings to our network, such as the New Vic, and ensure that our equipment can safely handle this increased demand. </p> Wed, 15 Nov 2023 21:49:57 +0000 nienke.broekstra@mcgill.ca 1618 at /facilities /facilities/channels/news/campus-tree-removal-necessary-communitys-safety-352665 <p>In the following weeks, approximately 30 trees across the downtown campus will need to be taken down.
