Summary
Thompson Rivers University has unveiled a new plan for its capital projects, with a major new building and up to $181 million in spending planned for the Kamloops campus, including more student housing at the request of the provincial government.
The university’s new plan includes five major projects: a combined business/science building, an Indigenous education centre, a low-carbon district energy system building, a second phase of its East Village student housing and a major renovation to the Ken Lepin Building, home to sciences, health sciences and nursing.
In total, TRU is looking to spend up to $181 million on the five capital projects and is asking for $119 million from the provincial government to make them become a reality. In addition, it would spend $21.3 million of its own cash in conjunction with a $12 million loan and $700,000 from other sources, meaning $28 million in fundraising would need to occur to cover all projects.
