Western Community College has broken ground on its new student residence—City Centre 5—in partnership with developers Lark Group and ICT Group. Located in Surrey’s Health and Technology District, this 23-storey joint development will contain 810 student beds across a range of unit styles. The building will also contain communal kitchen areas, a fitness centre, a gaming room, and lounges. “Purpose-built student housing integrated into Surrey’s Health and Technology District strengthens the live–learn ecosystem we are building, one that supports academic success, student wellbeing, and meaningful engagement with the community and industry,” explained WCC President Gurpal Dhaliwal. WCC expects the residence to be completed for Fall 2028.
