Hardly news, but hey, it's technically in T.O. and it's my alma mater, so here goes...

The Petrie Science & Engineering Building at York U has completed it's addition of a fourth storey. Read about it here...

For the first time, York's previously dispersed atmospheric scientists will be under one roof. Up to now, they have been doing their research from a dark little observatory jury-rigged in a concrete storage space on the fourth floor of the Computer Methods building, a non-York facility, in the remote northeast corner of Keele campus.
The difference between the old facility and the new "is like night and day," said Ron Ogata, York renovations manager.
 
Petrie expansion adds valuable research space

Their heads have always been in the clouds but now York's atmospheric scientists will be even closer to the cirrus formations and ozone they love to study in the Earth's stratosphere. Closer by about three metres.

That's how much taller the Petrie Science & Engineering Building is now that builders have added a partial fourth storey. It extends across the south side and houses two observatories, a lab and a rooftop deck for testing equipment.
