Okanagan College has officially opened the doors to the first campus housing facility on its Penticton campus. The facility contains space for 101 students across a mix of studio, two-bedroom, and four-bedroom units. There will also be short-term living arrangements available to students in the trades and healthcare sectors, and Kelowna Capital News reports that the college hopes to use the units as hotel space when not occupied by students. “With this building, every Okanagan College campus now offers students a place to live close to where they learn,” said Okanagan Provost and VP Academic Dr Samantha Lenci. “In the past two years, we’ve celebrated new student housing openings in Kelowna, Vernon and Salmon Arm, and now it’s Penticton’s turn.”
