Cégep de l’Outaouais and Collège Héritage have signed an agreement that will see the construction of a $36M student housing facility in the Outaouais region by 2029. This building will be located less than three kilometers from the institutions and will contain approximately 240 student housing units, with Cégep de l’Outaouais taking on more of these housing units. The units will then be offered at affordable rates to ensure that postsecondary education is more accessible in this region. Cégep de l’Outaouais directeur général Steve Brabant said that this project will be financed through a public-private partnership. The Government of Québec has contributed $265K to support the finalization of plans and start of the construction.
