Douglas College 808 Royal

Project info

Douglas College is building its first-ever student housing project at 808 Royal Avenue, marking a significant investment in its New Westminster campus. Once completed, this 20-storey building will feature 368 student beds and 11 storeys of academic space, including classrooms, labs, collaboration spaces, and food services. The project is being built to meet LEED Gold standards, achieve zero carbon certification, and comply with BC Energy Step Code 4. It aims to address the demand for more student support and create a community where students feel connected while balancing academics, work, and life.

Our team will be providing electrical and technology solutions for the project, including electrical systems, lighting, structured cabling, video surveillance, access control, intrusion alarms, intercom systems, and audio/video integration. To contribute to a barrier-free learning environment, our teams will be installing industry-leading assistive listening solutions in classrooms and collaboration spaces for those who are hard of hearing. We anticipate installing 2,300 light fixtures, 260,000 ft of conduit, and 580,000 ft of structured cabling.
