Mathematics 4

Starting in Spring 2025, I have been photographing the construction of the University of Waterloo's Mathematics 4 (M4) building as it has progressed. I also have some other pictures from before then. I have created this award-winning page (and others) to organize these images and show the progression of M4's construction. This page includes all photos in my collection from the second half of 2025. To shorten load times, all images on this page have been adjusted to 720p resolution. Click on an image to see it in full resolution.

Special thanks to the owner of pinniped.page, who provided some of the late 2024 and October 2025 photos for use on this page. He also gave me an award for this page.
