 
UBC Okanagan have mandated to accommodate 900 students along with the acompanying 45 to 80 faculty positions and appropriate support staff by September 2005. In order to meet this requirement, the provision of sufficient and suitable space needs to be addressed.
Both the Arts and Science buildings at the UBC-O Campus have the capability to be expanded upwards by one floor. The footprint of these buildings are 3,900 square meters and 3,600 square meters respectively, and upon review of the two buildings, it was determined that a third floor of 3,300 gross square meters and 3,000 gross square meters can be achieved. These additions are scheduled for completion in the Fall of 2005.
The Campus Advisory Board on Student Development has worked in conjunction with the Alma Mater Society to promote the development of social space on campus. The Abdul Ladha Science Centre is a 7,300 aquare foot two floor building with a partial mezzanine level above the second floor. It will be located on East Mall, in between the Hebb Theatre and the Chemistry Physics Builidng. It is a prime location for a student centre, across from the SUB Buidling, the Science Advising Centre, near the libraries, and in the heart of the science precinct.
Coming Soon.

This building will focus on generic research and teaching space, rather than a building that is "owned" by one or more academic departments. This will create synergies in collaboration between faculty and different departments and with industries, between research and teaching; and will ensure flexibility inthe future as some research program areas grow and others decline.
The student housing project supports UBC's commitment towards developing a world-class teaching and research campus in the Okanagan. UBC has publicly undertaken to at least 1,000 additional residence units in Kelowna by 2010. These will be built in several phases. The first phase will add 332 first and second year student beds for occupancy by September 2006.
To encourage student interaction and ease their entry into University life, residence beds are contemplated to be dorm style in two, 4-storey wood frame buildings. Each floor of the new building will contain a small common room for study as well as a lounge area for socializing.
