Reclaiming Indigenous place names
Media release
The names of local villages and the Peoples from the land on which the University of Victoria now sits were reclaimed and lifted up in a ceremony and celebration at UVic as the names for the university’s two new student housing and dining buildings. University and community members gathered to reveal the names—Čeqʷəŋín ʔéʔləŋ (Cheko’nien House) and Sŋéqə ʔéʔləŋ (Sngequ House)—and to thank and honour the Songhees and Esquimalt Nations for permission to use lək̓ʷəŋən names.
New student housing building opens for fall term
The Ring
The newest and largest student housing dining building on the UVic campus is opening to its first influx of residents just before the start of fall classes. The official opening of the building will take place later this fall.
Welcoming students back, together
It’s not unusual at UVic to see a stir of activity and excitement around this time of year as students and their families start to arrive on campus for the start of school. This year, as the university prepares to welcome about 22,000 students after more than a year of mostly virtual programming, the scale of our usual September return to campus has increased dramatically.
Sustainable student housing takes shape
UVic’s sustainable student housing and dining construction project is taking shape. Students will be able to enjoy all the best on-campus living can offer in a state-of-the-art green building.
New student housing and dining project
The Ring
Construction begins on UVic's Student Housing and Dining project The initiative will create 621 new student housing spaces, plus a modern 600-seat dining hall, classrooms and conference space.
