Hampton Place

The first major market housing neighbourhood constructed on the UBC Campus, Hampton Place was completed in 1999. This 28-acre multi-family residential community includes 11 buildings containing 957 homes. The development of this neighbourhood realized $81 million for the University Endowment.

Chancellor Place

Initially designated the Theological Neighbourhood, Chancellor Place has been designed to enhance the missions of the four theological institutions (Carey Theological College, St. Andrew's Hall, St. Mark's College and the Vancouver School of Theology). The neighbourhood is home to students, staff, faculty and members of the broader community in a diversity of housing types. The three iconic chapels have been retained and the granite clad Iona Building has been restored and renovated.

Hawthorn Place

Once known as the "B lots" parking area, Hawthorn Place is a new residential neighbourhood bordered by student housing and athletic facilities. The neighbourhood comprises 709 units, 32% of which are rental housing for faculty and staff. Hawthorn Place contains several new parks, a community centre and the continuation of the Main Mall greenway.

North Campus

The North Campus Neighbourhood includes the Museum of Anthropology, Norman Mackenzie house, Green College, Cecil Green Park and Coach House. Ongoing plans call for the heritage and ecology of this area to be protected. Development of institutional facilities has commenced in this neighbourhood now that a Neighbourhood Plan has been approved which addresses protection of the sensitive environment of the nearby cliffs.

Gage South

Comprising approximately 1.2 hectares, this yet to be developed area is the smallest of the neighbourhoods. This local area is the most preferred location on campus for student rental housing due to its proximity to student services, transit and academic facilities.

University Boulevard

This neighbourhood is the main entrance to the University and a vital transit, pedestrian and bicycle thoroughfare. The neighbourhood will include an underground transit station, a new University Square, university related shops and services and rental accommodations.

East Campus

Eat Campus will mostly provide rental housing for the university community. A wooded green space is included and the area is designed to be pedestrian and bicycle friendly.

Wesbrook Place

Wesbrook Place, the largest of the neighbourhoods, is to be "an urban village in the woods" which will include a vibrant commercial centre, schools, parks, green spaces and residences with community enhancing services and amenities, such as a daycare, a school and community centre.
