Okanagan celebrates groundbreaking on student housing in Vernon, Salmon Arm

Okanagan College officially broke ground on two new student housing projects in Salmon Arm and Vernon and shared its plans for a new childcare centre on its Vernon campus. “This is a huge day for Okanagan College,” said Okanagan President Neil Fassina. “It will be the first student housing and childcare facility for our Vernon campus, which is going to enable our students to focus on what is important – and that is their learning.” Castanet reports that the college is also constructing a 216-bed project in Kelowna. All three student housing projects are expected to open in Fall 2024.
