UQTR finalizes purchase of Drummondville campus

Université du Québec à Trois-Rivières and the Ville de Drummondville have finalized the university’s purchase of the Drummondville campus and adjacent land from the city. UQTR erected its first building on the land nearly 10 years ago as a tenant. Now that it owns the facility, the university plans to develop new student residences. Drummondville Mayor Stéphanie Lacoste shared that the university could also introduce new on-campus amenities and services, including commercial spaces. The project aims to strengthen regional access to higher education and support graduate retention in Centre-du-Québec. The purchase was made possible thanks to $14.5M in support from QC.
