New Langford campus construction begins

Construction for the new joint post-secondary campus being built in Langford has officially begun, as workers commenced with pouring concrete on Wednesday, February 1. The concrete being used for the building is part of an initiative to make the new building zero carbon, by using cement that helps trap carbon and largely cuts down on carbon emissions. Once the building is completed the campus will be occupied by students from Camosun, Royal Roads University, University of Victoria, and the Justice Institute of BC.
