UVic properties

Over the years the University of Victoria has acquired a variety of properties both through strategic purchase and by generous donations from the community. These properties are best understood by seperating them into three distinct categories that reflect the type of support they offer UVic.

  • Core support properties are used to directly support the academic mission of the university, both today and in the future.
  • Indirect support properties are managed through UVic Properties and are not entirely devoted to the delivery of the university's academic and research mission.
  • Financial support properties are used to produce financial benefits to the university and/or its affiliated partners and entities.
