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.
