Current Updates
Stay informed with regular updates as construction progresses. We’ll keep you posted on project milestones, potential disruptions, and other important details.
Building envelope work continues across the Prince George campus from May 18 onward. Crews are completing exterior panel installation, roofing details, stairwell glazing, landscaping prep, and final cleanup activities in the 100, 300, 400, and 700 Blocks.
Work is shifting into more visible exterior finishing stages, including wood-look panels, penthouse work, exterior lighting, gravel prep, and repairs around building entrances and walkways.
Accessible parking near the Main Entrance has been relocated until further notice to the crosswalk ramp, and a detour is in place for those walking from the east side.

About the Project
The Building Envelope Project is designed to enhance the exterior of the Prince George campus with energy-efficient upgrades, a modernized aesthetic, and a focus on long-term sustainability. These improvements will provide a more comfortable, energy-efficient space for everyone at CNC while maintaining our facilities’ resilience well into the future.
This project is made possible with restricted capital funding by the Ministry of Infrastructure.
The Building Envelope Project aligns with CNC’s Strategic Plan (lhulh whuts’odutel’eh – Learning Together) under Priority 3.5: Rejuvenate College Infrastructure. Specifically, it supports objectives 3.5.1 through 3.5.4 by upgrading campus infrastructure, revitalizing learning spaces, improving sustainability, and helping reduce the college’s overall carbon footprint.
Key Highlights of the Project:
- Energy-efficient upgrades for better sustainability.
- A modernized campus exterior to reflect our commitment to innovation.
- Long-term durability to ensure the campus remains functional and eco-friendly for years to come.
