Langara College Master Plan
Vancouver, BC
Langara College has recently experienced a period of rapid and unprecedented student growth pointing to a strong need to re-think their Master Plan allowing it to support growth beyond today’s enrollment.
Indigeneity and reconciliation are being recognized as core issues and Langara understands that the campus’ physical environment must also evolve to clearly reflect these changes. Langara students no longer want to simply commute to campus and leave after class; they stay on campus to learn, to collaborate, to build community.
