Last week we mentioned Vancouver Island University's forthcoming master plan outlines campus safety and security as a priority. The 3-phase plan has since been released, and among its goals are the reconfiguration of transit access to the university, a new athletics centre, new trades facilities, increased student housing, and "endowment housing" VIU can use to help raise money.
