New student housing and dining complex on schedule for 2023 completion
Sourced from UVic. Rendering of the project by architects at Perkins&Will.
On May 5, UVic offered an update on the new student housing project. The $232.4 million project, funded in collaboration with the provincial government, will house 621 students, provide retail and dining spaces, and host an Indigenous student lounge. There will also be two 225-seat lecture halls as well as meeting and conference rooms.
Although planning began in 2016, construction started in January of last year and will continue through 2023. This lines up with initial estimates for completion.
The university typically guarantees spaces in residence for first-year students. The new project will be geared towards opening up spaces for upper-level undergraduate and graduate students.
