 
UBC Properties Trust, together with Polygon Homes Inc., initiated the relocation of the
fraternities from their existing leased land sites, onto the UBC Campus. The relocation
provides seven new fraternity houses with accommodation for approximately 240 students.
Vancouver Alumnae Panhellenic Association (VAPA), with the
help of UBC Properties Trust, has completed a student residence
and meeting facility for female undergraduate students on
a site neighbouring the new Fraternity Village development
on Wesbrook Mall.
TRIUMF is Canada's national laboratory for particle and nuclear physics. In addition to
the laboratory and research facilities located in South Campus, TRIUMF operates a 31-room
residential guesthouse in the UEL. This facility is known as TRIUMF House and provides
short-term housing for visiting researchers and staff.
The existing
TRIUMF House is located in a renovated Fraternity House
under a lease with UBC that terminates in 2006. UBC Properties
together with Triumf and Polygon Homes Inc., have completed
a new 17,550 square foot, 31-room guest house in the East
Campus Neighbourhood.
