In the fall of 2018, we submitted a<br />

formal proposal to the Campion<br />

Board of Regents and the University<br />

of Regina Board about acquiring<br />

the podia space from the University.<br />

The University of Regina Faculty<br />

Association (URFA) was (and still is)<br />

in the east space while the faculty<br />

of Graduate Studies moved out of<br />

the west space and into new offices<br />

elsewhere on campus.<br />

As part of the proposal, Campion<br />

College would renovate the west<br />

podium space to house the Impact<br />

Lab, run by Campion faculty Dr.<br />

Katherine Robinson and Dr. Christian<br />

Riegel. Campion also used this<br />

new lease to include some of the<br />

renovations to our air handling units<br />

and the maintenance of our 1960s<br />

building.<br />

Ultimately, the proposal was approved<br />

and work to acquire the east and west<br />

wings began. In the end, Campion<br />

would acquire the podia, including<br />

its various deficiencies, and fully<br />

integrate the spaces into the Campion<br />

College building. This included<br />

connection on both sides to our new<br />

air handling unit and fit-up of the west<br />

wing to meet the needs of the Impact<br />

Lab.<br />

On April 30, <strong>2022</strong>, after almost six<br />

years of negotiations, the details were<br />

worked out to help ensure Campion’s<br />

place on campus for many more years<br />

to come.<br />
