College Site ;.. Situated on high ground which overlooks the confluence ef ie Columbia and Kovienay Rivers, the College site is uni- quely beautiful. It can be seen frem the vantage points of the surrounding highways. The cam- pus commands the full sweep of three hundred and sixty de- grees revealing the panorama of river valleys and mountains. The College is built on the northern tip of the site to take full. advantage of the natural grade which slopes gently to- wards the two rivers. It grows from an axial spine on which the major facilities have been placed and from which all other portions extend. In their lieights and shapes, and in their rela- tionships to each other, the buildings create an impression which is both interesting and varied. There is a sense of in- timacy about the campus rather than of monumental grandeur.
