Vancouver Community College Broadway Campus Expansion
http://www.vcc.ca/expansion/
VCC's Broadway campus is expanding. The campus currently serves more than 4,200 students in a facility planned for 1,800. Construction began in October 2006 with the move-in date scheduled for September 2009.
The Broadway campus Phase 1 expansion will have the following impact:
- programs and an additional 219 student FTEs in university transfer programs.
- Provide added instructional space to relieve the over-utilization of classroom and lab stations at Broadway, moving from the current level of 1,540 annual student contact hours per student station (ASCH/STST) to 1,284 ASCH/STST.
- Following the completion of the Phase 1 expansion, the library will be renovated and expanded by 50 percent and the cafeteria by 33 percent.
- The relocation of health programs from the downtown campus to Broadway campus will provide space to allow for expansion of the dental and hospitality programs by 111 and 172 FTEs each.
- These changes will provide facilities necessary to help the college meet the targets of its 10-year academic plan, which projects a 21.3 percent increase in student FTEs, from 7,209 in 2003/04 to 8,744 FTEs in 2013/14.
