Camosun College Receives $32M Provincial Investment for Engineering Relocation at Interurban
Funding from the B.C. Ministry of Infrastructure will support renovations to the Jack White and the Technologies Buildings, improving specialized labs, classrooms and learning spaces for Civil and Mechanical Engineering Technology programs.
The project will replace aging building components and reconfigure space for current and future programs. Improvements will extend the life of the facilities while creating modern teaching environments for students preparing for careers in Civil and Mechanical Engineering Technology.
Renovations to the Jack White Building – named after a provincial director of Technical and Vocational Education who helped establish the B.C. vocational school system throughout the province – will convert a former trades training bay into a consolidated engineering technologies lab for Mechanical Engineering Technology programs.
Work in the Technologies Building will include updated lab spaces for Civil Engineering Technology programming and renovated classrooms, computer labs and study spaces for general use.
Once complete, the upgrades will provide expanded industrial lab and classroom spaces to support growth in Civil and Mechanical Engineering Technology.
Project and design work are actively underway. Construction will take part in two phases starting in Fall 2026 in the Jack White Building, with funding allocated through the provincial routine capital program to completion in Spring 2029. Capital funding cannot be used for college operations.
