ENTRANCES

Building entrances serve as key points of connections
between indoor and outdoor spaces. Entryways are to be
inviting, easily accessible and must be legible and clear. To
open up a physical connection between the interior and
exterior spaces, these entry points need critical consideration
in terms of location and scale to be successful.

Selkirk College - Proposed New Student Housing Project on the Castlegar Campus

STUDENT HOUSING

Selkirk College is actively pursuing student housing and
currently has a business case submitted and under review with
the BC Government for additional housing at the Silver King,
Trail and Castlegar campuses. Additional student housing is a
key to tackling a barrier to education that faces both domestic
and international students. Currently the College’s housing is
limited in both capacity and the types of housing available to
students.

With a significant number of international students attending
Selkirk College and the campuses being located in areas with

limited rental availability, this will be an ongoing issue.

Anticipated to be an apartment style building, the 100-bed
facility at Castlegar will need to consider the scale of the
existing two storey housing. A larger building form should
look at breaks in the massing to fit the style of the existing

campus buildings and surrounding site.
