The site consists of 16 owned buildings. It consists of six
interconnected classroom blocks which are linked to the
Library Block which is the hub of the campus. Five of the
classroom blocks as well as the Library Block date back to the
time of the initial campus opening in 1966. Itis referred to as
‘The Main Building’

The Library Block, the Cafeteria Block, the Faculty Block,
and the East and West Wings are connected to the Main
Building and each other through linear interior corridors. The
Administration Block and the Gymnasium Block are separate
buildings located in close proximity to the main campus

buildings.

In addition to the Main Campus, the Mir Centre for Peace,
an early 20th Century Doukhobor communal dwelling, is a
restored building to the south of the campus. The College
inherited this building with the site in 1966. It became the Mir
Centre in 1999 and is used for meeting rooms and conference

space for education on building cultures of peace.

Two additional structures are located at the Castlegar
Airport which is located approximately 2km to the east of
the main campus. These are the Flight Training Centre and
the Air Hanger previously occupied by the Aviation Program
(discontinued in 2012). This space now houses the Applied
Research & Innovation Centre, Selkirk Geospatial Research
Centre, the Columbia Basin Rural Development Institute and
classrooms and labs for students in the School of Environment
and Geomatics (Bachelors and Advanced Diploma_ in

Geographic Information Systems).

Several large paved parking areas are available to staff and

students around the campus.

Available recreation and amenities are tennis courts, athletics

fields, hiking /biking trails and a city bus stop.
