Taken 17 July. This facility is adjacent to the GO station and a 10 minute walk west to the surprising busyness of Downtown Markham.

Markham York U at night . Image kinda burly as I was riding my bike from the station.

Thanks! This is designed for
~5,000 people so it will be interesting to see how that affects the area to the west with all of the ‘stuff.’

I'm curious to see the transit patterns that emerge here at Unionville GO.

I'm curious how many students they will actually have there next week. They had only recruited a few hundred first years through OUAC to programs based there as of 3rd June. Maybe they can bump up those numbers a bit with current students who find it more attractive to take classes there and non-traditional students (e.g. continuing ed). Can't see how they get to anywhere close to 6,000 though. YorkU domestic student recruitment is down 13% and international recruit has plummeted so they are in a poor position generally.
This might be a very big white elephant.

They have taken down most of the construction fencing and have installed some signage:

I wonder if this opens tomorrow?!

Edit: According to IG images this campus is open. One small step for Downtown Markham, one giant step for
TOD!
