Nearly $40 mil for new Health and Science Centre at VIU
NANAIMO — By the end of next year, nursing and science students at Vancouver Island University’s Nanaimo campus will have a brand new facility to learn in.
A new Health and Sciences Centre was announced Friday at the university. The project, which is expected to see construction start in fall of 2017, costs just shy of $40 million and is the largest capital project for the university.
Though she will have graduated by the time the facility is complete, third year nursing student Sherina Goglin said she’s excited for incoming and younger students to experience their expanded laboratories and classrooms.
“Right now we’re kind of crowded in one building on top of each other, so this will give us a chance to spread out,” she said.
