Historic project brings student housing to Douglas College

The building includes nine storeys of student housing featuring 368 student beds and 11 storeys of academic space including classrooms, labs, offices, collaboration spaces, and food services.

808 Royal is the culmination of years of internal collaboration and consultation with our community partners. This unique building meets the academic and housing needs of the College’s growing student population, supports the City of New Westminster Official Community Plan and will integrate seamlessly into the surrounding community.

We know housing on campus is more than just a place to sleep and study; it’s a place to build community, feel connected and be supported while balancing academics, work and life.
