Camosun College

The Interurban campus delivers programs in access, business, trades, technologies, sports and exercise education, and health and human services.

[10] In 1946, the building was returned to its original function as an educational institution shared between the Normal School and Victoria College, which were united in 1956.

[11] A special anniversary logo drawing on the story of Camossung [12] was commissioned from alumn and Indignenous artist Dylan Thomas.

[14] Camosun College enrolled its first students in September 1971 when it opened as a two-year institution offering university transfer, vocational and upgrading courses to the residents of southern Vancouver Island.

The Fisher building houses the campus bookstore and cafeteria, as well as classrooms, labs and offices for nursing, biology, physics, chemistry and other disciplines.

[17] In October 2022, the college celebrated the reopening of the newly renovated Wilna Thomas Building featuring new spaces for study, collaboration, events and Indigenous learning.

On the courtyard side of the building the clock-tower faces a pole carved especially for Camosun by Richard Hunt, as part of the 1994 Commonwealth Games legacy.

In the middle of campus sits the Helmut Huber Cook Training Centre, which houses the Culinary Arts Foundation program.

[19] The campus community and the public can purchase breakfast and lunch prepared by students, and in the evening, part of the cafeteria is transformed into the Classroom Restaurant.

[20] On the north end of the campus, the Jack White and John Drysdale buildings house the offices of Continuing Education and Contract Training and most of Camosun's trades programs.

Several entry-level, apprenticeship, pre-employment and upgrading programs operate year-round, all providing a mix of in-class learning and hands-on shop work.

Behind the campus is the Vancouver Island Technology Park, providing access for Camosun faculty and students entering into partnerships with local industry and research projects.

Located on the south side of the campus, the Pacific Institute for Sport Excellence (PISE), a centre for academics and athletics, was completed in September 2008.

With provincial funding received in September 2012,[21] Camosun's Centre for Trades Education and Innovation (CTEI) was designed by B+H Architects and built by CitySpaces Consulting, and was expected to be completed in early 2015.

[23] A new healthcare training facility officially opened its doors at Camosun College's Interurban Campus in September 2019.
