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 ensuring that our facilities remain resilient for generations to come.
This project is made possible with restricted capital funding by the Ministry of 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.
