Former Weir Property
Salem State University is leasing the former Weir Company property located on Loring Avenue and Canal Street, with the intention of purchasing the property within the next few years. In preparation for this project, the university formed a Loring Avenue/Canal Street Advisory Board. This board, made up of city officials, university administrators, and neighbors, was charged to advise the university on possible future uses and configurations contained on the property. The university and the board worked with Sasaki Associates, an architectural and urban design firm, to identify goals and planning principles that will guide future development of this property.
