Nova Scotia Community College, NSCC, is receiving four new student housing projects from the province.
Minister of Advanced Education, Brian Wong, announced Tuesday morning at NSCC’s Institute of Technology campus in Halifax, that the college will be receiving around 270 new beds. “That is 270 more spaces for students that are going to have a place and accommodation on campus in four of our communities,” Wong said.
The new accommodation will be built at NSCC campuses in Springhill, Kentville, Bridgewater and Halifax.
Announcements were made by Minister Tory Rushton, Minister John Lohr and Minister Becky Druhan at the other campuses receiving the new housing. Previous projects announced since 2021 combined with the new announcement will bring the student housing spaces up to 620.
The announcement comes after the province released its five-year housing plan as part of the Our Homes, Action for Housing Plan last month.
Details on costs, design and timelines will come in the next few months.
