One person was confirmed killed almost immediately, but it would take several more hours before rescuers were able to determine the person trapped in the rubble was also dead.

The province announced the funding through its Facilities Renewal Program, and the university will use the money to address its deferred-maintenance backlog.

The incident on Friday killed two people and injured five others, city officials said. One person killed had earlier been taken from the scene but the other remained trapped.

The combined project spend is nearly $50 million, and will see the construction and rehabilitation of the Greenway and Adelaide wastewater treatment plants.

The work is the latest phase of a project to separate a layover facility and the station itself. It also calls for the addition of new tracks at the station to allow for greater frequency of service along the Stouffville line.
