Royal Roads University, the University of Victoria, Camosun College and the Justice Institute of British Columbia will share a new $98-million building in downtown Langford.
Four post-secondary institutions will converge on a single campus in Langford by fall 2024 in an “unprecedented” partnership that will bring more opportunities for higher learning to the West Shore.
The new campus is expected to take down some roadblocks to higher learning on the West Shore, including lengthy commute times and a critical housing shortage in the core municipalities. The Langford campus will include space for programming by Sooke School District 62, and will serve students from First Nations throughout southern Vancouver Island, including T’Sou-ke, Pacheedaht, Scia’new, Xwsepsum, Songhees and Malahat.
“As we see more people looking for post-secondary training, this campus will allow us and our partners to offer an expanded suite of options for learners at every age and stage,” Steenkamp said. Langford Mayor Stew Young called it a “historic day” for the city, which has been striving for a campus for more than 25 years. He said the total costs of the project — about $125 million — is the largest single investment in Langford to date.
