The $270-million facility will be called the Royal B.C. Museum PARC Campus, an acronym for Provincial Archives, Research and Collections.
The Royal British Columbia Museum has given an official name to its new archives and collections building currently under construction in Colwood’s Royal Bay neighbourhood.
Tracey Drake, CEO of the museum, said in a statement the project ushers in a new era for the museum and archives. The 15,200-square-metre building, expected to open in 2026, meets CleanBC’s energy-efficiency standards, is designed for mass-timber construction and will be LEED Gold certified. PARC Campus will ensure the museum’s collections are properly stored and safeguarded and meet international best practices and standards, according to the province.
