prove unfounded and will not be carried through to the detailed campus planning stage.

The Coquitlain Campus will be part of a multi-campus Douglas College.

The campus will serve between 5000 - 6000 full time equivalent students when
completed.

The cainpus will be developed in phases, with three phases expected.

Before construction of phase one is undertaken, an overall cainpus concept and plan
will be developed. |

The campus will be home to a full range of community college programs and services.

Some of the programs and services may be unique to the location, while others will be
ihe saine as those offered at other cainpus locations.
