I was surprised when I walked in how nice it was as I was expecting more take-out/quick. The lamb saag was one of the best I’ve had as was

On as little as 2 days notice to students moving in for fall Semester.............
Building isn't ready, more work required.
Given extraordinary delays with this project already, project managers here should be concerned for their employment.

Went down a rabbit hole of looking at fees to live in this building - cheapest accommodation is $17,410 for a "single economy" room (8 month occupancy) plus $7,625 for a mandatorymeal plan. Wild!

Excluding the meal plan, that's $2,176 a month which isn't wildly out of line with a studio apartment in the same area.
Its certainly not non-profit/at-cost University housing...........a quick look on View it has area studios in older buildings (no a/c) going for ~$1,800 a month, + electricity. The nearest condo rental was $2,450 for a Bay St. address.
But if you were willing to hoof it from King/John area a bachelor there is just $2,150!
Now, an older apartment on Walmer could be yours for only $1,695.

plus a premium being that you can sign up for only 8 months.. even that older Walmer St apartment is going to set you back $3,000 more than this for the school year as you will be looped into a 12-month, instead of an 8-month, lease.
It isn't $17,000 here or $13,000 on Walmer - it's $25,000 here for unlimited free cooked meals for the school year and a brand new building or $20,000 on walmer without in-unit laundry and in a 50-60 year old building.

While at Laval in Québec City, the large one-bedroom apartment I shared with a friend in the mid 1980s was $314 - combined with our ultra-low tuition fees, we had it really easy back then.

...is there a reason for any of this? The building doesn't look that complicated from the outside.

They haven't made the deficiency list public, so I can't say what hasn't been done well here or why.
I'm not aware of any inherently complex or challenging elements in the design.
