The real estate development company, Woodbridge Northwest Communities, is proposing a Capilano University Village including a six-floor condominium tower, three and four-floor townhouses, 60 dormitories for CapU students, and an amenities building at the North Vancouver campus. The company’s plan also includes personalized student kitchens, a swimming pool, clubhouse and children’s play area. Another North Vancouver developer is offering to build rental apartments exclusively for Capilano University’s students and staff. Darwin Properties has submitted an application to build 346 units of rental housing in two six-storey buildings. The company also wants to build an adjacent cafe. The nearby Holiday Inn Hotel & Suites near main campus offers discounts for students who seek temporary accommodation.
Capilano University’s degree programs are approved by the Government of British Columbia’s Ministry of Advanced Education, Skills and Training. The degree-granting powers of the University are legislated by British Columbia’s University Act. In 2012, CapU became Canada’s first university to receive accreditation from the Northwest Commission on Colleges and Universities (or NWCCU) in Washington (state), one of six major regional agencies in the U.S. that are recognized by the United States Department of Education.
Capilano University’s main campus is located at 2055 Purcell Way in North Vancouver (district municipality), on Metro Vancouver’s North Shore. It is approximately a 30-minute drive from Downtown Vancouver. The majority of the programs are offered at this campus. There is also a smaller regional campus, referred to as the kálax-ay Sunshine Coast Campus in Sechelt, British Columbia that serves the communities of the Sunshine Coast. In September 2019, CapU welcomed students to CapU Lonsdale, the University’s newest location, the iconic Shipyards Development in North Vancouver’s Lower Lonsdale.
The University also runs the Early Childhood Education programs in Squamish, British Columbia, and holds classes at the Ts̓zil Learning Centre in Mount Currie, British Columbia.
