The Grad House returns

For those former Dal students who thought the old Grad House, now demolished, was an essential part of your higher education, you’ll be thrilled to know that those who are coming up behind you won’t be denied the experience. General manager Mark Jurkovic says the new Grad Lounge will open in mid-March. “Just to be safe,” he says about the estimated opening date, more than two months away. “We want to do it right.” The new location is 1252 LeMarchant and Jurkovic says Dalhousie has put “quite a bit of money” into it. “It’ll still be that very cozy place you’ll want to have a beer in and you’ll be able to hear yourselves speak, but we’re bringing it up a few notches.” That means an upgrade from the old Grad House in the décor, sound system and food, provided by The Creperie Mobile, which you can find at The Farmers’ Market on Saturday or online at creperiemobile.com.
