Summary:
- The six-storey mass timber student housing building adds nearly 400 new beds for students, tripling the number of available on-campus accommodation and taking pressure off the local rental market.
- The building is currently referred to as Lá:léms Ye EverGreen [la-lums-yuh-ever-green], a name that reflects a sense of home, belonging and continuity grounded in the Halq’eméylem language, and the deep connection between people and place on Stó:lō territory.
- The project also included construction of a new active transportation hub adjacent to the student housing building, which provides secure indoor bike storage and shower facilities to students living on campus as well as the wider UFV community.
