The leading edge $17.3 million, 46,700 square foot SUB represents the culmination of a collaborative design and construction effort that began in 2008. The SUB incorporates LEED Gold principles in an environmentally efficient design and houses a variety of student-focused services, clubs, restaurants, and spaces.
“We’re very excited about the SUB because there has been no purely student-focused space on campus until now and this is going to be extremely student-focused. It will be a one-stop shop — students can meet, eat, hang out, and access services here,” SUS President Thomas Davies said. “We wanted to create a place that encourages student engagement and connections, and I think we have achieved it.”
UFV President Mark Evered said that the new SUB will inspire creativity and collaboration.
The building will be host to student centered businesses and activities such as Student Union Society, CIVL Radio, Cascade Newspaper, Fair Grounds Coffee, the Canoe restaurant, Career Centre, Academic Advising and many many more.
