The new and improved UNBC campus in Terrace welcomes students January 3rd. The new campus is nearly triple in size from the original UNBC space. The renovation includes 7 classrooms and seminar rooms ( including video conference classroom and 28-seat computer tab) and flexibility to create a large public/lecture meeting room. There are also 9 administrative and faculty offices, office space for graduate students, a student lounge and study area, and research space. A second phase of renovations will add classroom and faculty space.

“Unlike our old location in Terrace, the new campus provides greater opportunities for us to grow and expand our offerings in response to increased local demand,” said Judith Lapadat, Chair of UNBC’s Northwest Campus.

“This fall, we’ll be adding a Bachelor of Education degree program and welcoming Nursing students who will be completing their degrees with UNBC after taking the first two years of the program locally at Northwest Community College.”

UNBC President Don Cozzetto called the new campus great news for UNBC and Terrace.

“This new campus is vital to increasing our profile in Terrace and allowing us to respond to local needs for new courses and degree programs.”

Renovations to the new Terrace campus have been completed by UNI Construction with repairs to the roof undertaken by 101 Industries of Kitimat. The purchase of the building was made possible by $972,000 in funding from the Government of British Columbia.
