Construction Begins

We are excited to announce that work begins on the NIC Student Housing Commons at the Comox Valley Campus.

The first construction phase includes new fencing being installed to prepare the site for safe construction. The fencing will remove the walking pathway between NIC and the Comox Valley Regional District Aquatic Centre, as well as the wide walkway along College Road near the build site. We recommend using new routes on the Comox Valley campus and have developed a digital resource: nic.bc.ca/walks. Additional routes can be added, so please contact communications@nic.bc.ca to suggest any new routes.

Occasional traffic control will be at the site on College Road and may cause slight delays.

A section of Parking Lot B, which is located nearest Ryan Road, will be designated for construction site use (see the area marked in grey and yellow in the image). Over the summer additional parking was added to the campus, and we recommend using Parking Lot A.

With the especially dry conditions this year, dust is expected during the construction, so please know that the design build team will implement strategies to mitigate the dust.
