The University of Victoria Student Housing and Dining is a transformative addition to campus, addressing the demand for on-campus living and relieving pressures on the local rental market. The design fosters a vibrant, walkable campus that reflects the aspirations of the University and engages stakeholders, including Indigenous communities. The residence opened a year ahead of schedule. The façade, featuring SunGuard™ SN 68 and SNX 62/27 coatings on clear glass, achieves a harmonious balance of thermal and solar performance. With high clarity, the glass seamlessly connects outdoor and indoor environments, helping to prioritize social connection and engagement. The glass also contributed to a commitment to sustainability, with the building earning Passive House and LEED® Gold certifications.
