What might have been
UVic archivist Jane Turner shows off a 1964 rendering of what the UVic campus might have looked like, with a series of high-rise residences, a sculpture-and-fountain hybrid, and an administration tower. It's one of several plans and drawings on display in an archives exhibit, "Unbuilt UVic," assembled by associate archivist Lara Wilson. The collection of structures that "might have been" is of particular interest right now, given the current construction boom on campus, says Turner. "Unbuilt UVic" is on display in the archives, located in the library basement, until the end of the summer.
