Sedgewick Building (SED)

Sedgwick building

The Sedgewick building houses three of UVic's interdisciplinary centres: the Centre on Aging, the Centre for the Study of Religion in Society, and the Centre for Global Studies.

It also houses the university's offices of equity and human rights, communications, human resources and occupational health and safety.

The building is named for Dr. Garnett Sedgewick (1882 - 1949), who was the dynamic head of the University of British Columbia English department from 1918 to 1948. His name commemorates the close link that UVic’s predecessor Victoria College had with UBC.

The Vandekerkhove Wing is named after Allen and Loreen Vandekerkhove, who were instrumental in establishing the Centre for Studies in Religion and Society that is housed in the wing.
