Coast Mountain College receives upgrade to its library

TERRACE—The Province announced its plans for a library renewal project in northern B.C., saying that it will create local jobs.

The Coast Mountain College library will receive the upgrade which aims at creating construction related jobs for regional businesses and tradespeople. This is part of a $4.4 million capital investment by the government to support tradespeople across the province.

“The library renewal project at Coast Mountain College is a long-term investment that will give students dedicated spaces to study and learn and will also provide immediate, well-paying construction work for tradespeople in Terrace. The inclusion of Indigenous design and child-friendly spaces will guarantee a welcoming and inclusive building for generations to come.”—Melanie Mark, Minister of Advanced Education, Skills and Training

The work to renew and refurbish the flood-damaged Spruce Building on the college’s main campus is expected to begin this summer.
