UFV celebrates opening of student housing, dining hall

The University of the Fraser Valley celebrated the opening of its Lá:léms Ye EverGreen student residence and an expanded Cascade Café dining hall last week. The six-storey mass-timber residence has space for nearly 400 students and contains secure bike storage, shower facilities, and shared spaces for students to connect. The expanded Cascade Café dining hall provides students with improved food services and increased seating to reflect the university’s growing on-campus population. UFV President Dr James Mandigo explained that the opportunity for students to live and eat on campus will “create an environment where students can connect, support one another, and grow into leaders who will strengthen our communities.”
