About student housing
Located on our Comox Valley campus and situated on the traditional territory of the K’ómoks First Nation, tul'al'txw student housing is the first of its kind in BC. Two linked buildings, gukwa'las and tl'emstan, feature a mix of single-occupant and shared housing units and ʔayɛs kʷ ǰɛǰɛnxʷɛgəs provides dedicated on-campus family housing units.
In total, tul'al'txw will provide 217 beds for students, including 157 student beds in two linked buildings and 60 beds for students with families in the third building.
