Five-building Pacific Residences at UBC to add 1,000 new student beds to campus
FEBRUARY 27, 2019 BY PETER MEISZNER
UBC Campus and Community Planning unveiled plans at a public information session on Tuesday for five new buildings of student housing on the Vancouver campus, with nearly 1,000 beds.
The Pacific Residences development will be constructed around the existing Gage Towers student residences, along Wesbrook Mall and Student Union Boulevard. Building heights will be 10, eight and seven storeys.
The buildings will contain 935 new beds, part of UBC’s plan to build 6,000 new student beds over the next 10 years. Units will include studio units and “quad units,” where four students share one central kitchen and two bathrooms, along with a shared living room.
The buildings will be clad in two to three tones of masonry brick, breaking up the façades.
