Back to EpisodesNew Student Housing at Camosun College
Description
Camosun Colleges new student housing complex, a $154.7 million project, is set to bring 423 beds to the Lansdowne campus. The six-story building, featuring a mix of dorm-style suites, studios, and four-bedroom units, is expected to start construction this spring and complete by 2028. While some trees were removed, the college anticipates a net gain in trees and expanded canopy coverage. The project is seen as a solution to Victorias housing crunch, with potential benefits for student retention, local rentals, and campus community. The province contributed $151.7 million, with the college adding $3 million. Wood from the removed trees will be used for garden beds and play structures. Similar housing is planned for the Interurban campus.
