A’ \ TERRACE. company and one from Kitimat have been
awarded contracts to renovate a former highways ministry
building bought by the University of Northern British Co-
lumbia for its new campus here. ’

- Uni Construction of Terrace will be doing interior rénova- -
‘tions worth $245,105, described as the first phase of what’s -

needed, while 101 Industries of Kitimat will replace the roof
at a cost of $119,989.
Work at the Keith Ave. location, across the street from

- the Terrace Lumber Company, is scheduled to be done. by
_the end of the year, says UNBC official Rob van Adrichem. -

_ The building is three times the size of the space it is now, :
renting next door to the provincial liquor store and fits the

university’s goal of expanding i its educational offerings i in .

Terrace and area, he said.

- This first interior renovations contract will result in basic
classroom and office space with future construction aimed at .
labs and other more specific purposes, he: said.

The 14,000 square foot building, in addition to providing
more space for UNBC, is also meant to increase the institu-
" tion’s profile in Terrace and area, ‘said van Adrichem.

“We're really looking. forward to an increased visibility

. in the area,” he said.

Last year UNBC had 100 ‘students in “Terrace and this
year the number has grown to 116.

More students will arrive next year when third year Bach-
_elor of Science in Nursing students transfer over from their.

first two years at Northwest Community College.

’ First stage renovations will cover nearly half of the build-

ing and include seven classrooms and seminar rooms (in--

_ cluding a video conference classroom, a 27-seat computer
_lab, and a nursing classroom), a 50-seat public lecture room,
nine administrative and faculty offices, and a student lounge —
‘and study area. Wireless capacity also will be installed i inthe
first phase. = >. on

A second phase of renovations will be undertaken prior to
the launch of the Bachelor of Education program which will.
start in September 2007.

‘The new campus has been empty since the transportation

: * ministry cut staff here in 2002.

The building sits on two acres, meaning there” s enough

, room for expansion if ever needed.
