CCEL has bought an apartment building and a neighboring heritage house on Robson Street and is now in the process of converting them into a new campus with a combination of college and student accommodation.
The new facility will have state of the art classrooms on two floors, street level offices and internet cafe/lunch room, PLUS one floor of student apartments. The heritage house will be converted into a student residence.
The location on Robson near Denman is the hub of student night life and is surrounded by a diverse range of ethnic restaurants popular with international students. Close to parks and beaches as well as right on Vancouver’s most exclusive shopping street, it is an ideal location.
Our current location on Pender Street is to be demolished for a 35 storey tower. We expect to move to the Robson campus early 2007.
