Selkirk College has officially opened a new 114-bed housing facility on its Castlegar Campus. The three-storey building offers fully furnished, accessible units. The building features study spaces and a student lounge, common kitchens, an Indigenous gathering space, and more. This residence is one of two recent housing developments–with the first opening earlier in the spring–that together increase the college’s on-campus housing capacity by 71%.

“Providing on-campus housing makes our campuses more vibrant places,” said Selkirk President Maggie Matear. “The new Castlegar Campus complex not only has a beautiful view overlooking the river, but also provides a secure, affordable housing option that contributes to the exceptional post-secondary experience we want to provide our graduates.”
