Student housing spaces at �¼������ϲʹٷ���վ College’s Kelowna campus will more than double as construction starts on the first on-campus student housing to be added in more than 30 years.

“Together with �¼������ϲʹٷ���վ College, we are investing in student housing that will benefit generations of learners who can focus on their studies without worrying about where they will live,” said Anne Kang, Minister of Advanced Education and Skills Training. “We are working hard to deliver 8,000 new student housing spaces on campus throughout B.C. by 2028, and to date we have more than 6,800 new spaces open or underway throughout the province.”

This is one of three student-housing projects in the �¼������ϲʹٷ���վ. Construction will start later this year on the first on-campus student housing at the college’s Vernon and Salmon Arm campuses. The Province is investing $66.5 million into the three residences. The total project cost is $67.5 million.

“Having a stable and affordable place to live is critical to the success of learners,” said Neil Fassina, president, �¼������ϲʹٷ���վ College. “Adding housing at three �¼������ϲʹٷ���վ College campuses will foster more inclusive and equitable access to education that will transform the lives of students.”
