A major milestone in the province’s commitment to improve student housing.

Two hundred units have opened up at the Nova Scotia Community College (NSCC) Ivany Campus in Dartmouth.

The $58.6 million project will offer one-bedroom suites, with barrier-free options, as well as three- and four-bedroom suites.

They will have full washrooms, kitchen areas, furniture, utilities, internet, in-house laundry and common spaces.

President of NSCC, Don Bureaux says, “This beautiful new student housing complex overlooking Halifax Harbour will welcome 200 students each year as they study at NSCC. These safe, modern new spaces next to the campus are available for our first residents this fall thanks to the incredible investment of the provincial government.”

The project is part of the government’s five-year housing plan.

There are currently 2,537 students enrolled at the campus.
