The Fountain Campus, which occupies a historic row of buildings along Granville Street, is part of a trio of NSCAD campuses around downtown Halifax. Armour Group would then build NSCAD a new campus on the Salter lot and lease it back to the school. Granville campus 'unfit for function,' said consultantIn 2013, a consulting firm studied the school's infrastructure and called Granville "unfit for function," saying it would require a "heroic" effort to upgrade. The Armour Group proposal estimated annual rent at $24.50 per square foot for a space up to 130,000 square feet. The plan would see almost 90 per cent of the Granville Street campus rented out by NSCAD for income.
