Camosun to construct on-campus student housing with $151.7M from BC

Camosun College will be constructing new on-campus student housing, thanks to a $151.7M investment from the Government of British Columbia. The housing project—which will be Camosun’s first student housing facility—will include a six-storey building with 423 beds in single, studio, and quad units. Camosun plans to construct the building with mass timber and to target LEED Platinum Standards. “On-campus housing brings various social, academic and personal benefits, including greater retention rates, while freeing up rental spaces in the surrounding communities,” said Camosun President Lane Trotter. The building is expected to be complete by Fall 2027.
