Recent history

From 2005–2009, BCIT undertook a Campus Visioning exercise for the Burnaby site which included a series of Town Hall meetings. Though the proceedings were never formally adopted by the Board of Governors, the outcomes from this process provide background context that will inform current planning initiatives. Key outcomes were:

• Master Plan – Elements and Objectives (2005) [PDF]
• Planning Principles (2005) [PDF]
