Webinar: Encapsulated Mass Timber: A New Construction Type for the 2020 National Building Code

Workshop: Manufacturing and Mass Timber Design Strategies

Camosun College

Province: British Columbia
City: Victoria
Project Category: Educational

Description:

In July 2024, the B.C. government committed to fund $151.7 million for student housing at Camosun College’s Lansdowne Campus. The College will contribute an additional $3 million, for a total project cost of $154.7 million. According to a College press release, the six-storey building will be constructed using mass timber and will have more than 400 student beds (dormitory-style, single suite, and four-bedroom apartment-style) in addition to reflection rooms, universal washrooms, and communal kitchens. The College is currently in the process of choosing a main consultant to lead the design phase; it anticipates the consultant will be in place in 2025. Project completion is expected for fall 2027.
