This new building is poised to shape the institution’s future by embodying its commitment to educational excellence and community integration within a 21st-century context. It will foster a vibrant center
for journalism, writing, and publishing, and serve as a dynamic hub for students, faculty, and the Halifax community to engage in athletics, learning, and cultural activities. The project emphasizes creating a supportive residential environment, enhancing student life, and serving as a beacon for tourism and conferences during the summer. Drawing inspiration from Andrew Cobb’s architectural legacy, the new facility aims to reflect contemporary society and the rich history of Mi’ma’ki, ensuring inclusivity and a sense of belonging for diverse groups including the Mi’kmaq, African Nova Scotians, and 2SLGBTQ communities. With an emphasis on sustainability, energy efficiency, and long-term durability, the Southeast Corner Project is envisioned as a testament to King’s enduring values and a cornerstone for the university’s future growth and community contributions.
