Project Summary
This priority project will redevelop housing at St. John’s College (SJC) to increase on-campus student housing and create a vibrant student-focused precinct on the west side of campus. UBC is committed to supporting the student housing need in the context of significant demand and the growing unaffordability of the region.
Phase 1 is proposed to create multiple buildings with a net addition of 1,325 graduate student beds (approximately 1,500 new beds, including 175 replacement beds). Student Housing and Community Services (SHCS) and Campus + Community Planning (C+CP) are assessing feasibility and conducting early community engagement for the site.
Subsequent project phases will explore additional first-year, upper year, and graduate student beds through further development of the LMP.
