There might not be a ground-breaking ceremony per se but the hammering and sawing at UNBC have been very exciting as renovations are underway to make space for the MPT North and MOT North programs! Both programs will be located on the ground floor of the UNBC Teaching and Learning Centre (Building #10) in the west wing.
This space was previously occupied by Continuing Studies, the Access Resource Centre (ARC), the Psychology Clinic and the Community Development Institute (CDI). These programs will be moved to other areas of Campus to make way for breakout rooms, a multi-purpose teaching space, offices, a second Physiotherapy Plinth Lab and various spaces needed for the Occupational Therapy program.
The Teaching and Learning Building also houses the UNBC School of Nursing, School of Health Sciences, and Department of Psychology; and Degrees Coffee! Many of you will remember the ribbon-cutting ceremony that marked the opening of the first UNBC Physiotherapy Plinth Lab in 2012 located in Teaching Laboratory (Building #4) which will now be used regularly by students in their first year.
We look forward to moving into our new home late Fall/Winter 2020 semester.
