Students now have access to more housing options and an expanded dining hall at the University of the Fraser Valley Abbotsford (UFV), with nearly 400 new beds and an additional 230 dining seats now open.
"Students need convenient housing so they can focus on learning, not on finding a place to live," said Bowinn Ma, Minister of Infrastructure. "This new housing and expanded dining hall at UFV more than triples the available on-campus housing for students in the Fraser Valley, ensuring more students have access to the housing and services they benefit from to thrive."
Student housing
The six-storey mass timber student housing building adds nearly 400 new beds for students, tripling the number of available on-campus accommodation and taking pressure off the local rental market. It includes:
- 60 four-bedroom units, 50 studios and two one-bedroom apartments for staff - all with washrooms, kitchenettes and lounge space
- 106 single-bedroom dorms with access to shared kitchens, lounges and laundry facilities
- office space, parking and cultural spaces for prayer and ceremony
