History
Construction on K.C. Irving Hall began in October 1997, with a sod turning ceremony taking place on October 16. The building was planned to have four floors with a total space area of 40,000 square feet (3,700 m2).[2] Funding for the building, which cost CA$5.3 million, largely came from the Irving family, UNB, and the provincial government, with extra donations coming from several municipal governments and individual contributions.[1] The hall opened for use in December 1998.[3]
Between 2005 and 2006, K.C. Irving Hall was expanded to further house a research facility for the Canadian Rivers Institute.[4][5] The facility opened in October 2006.[6]
