THIS IS the architect’s concept of what a completed Capilano College campus on the Lynnmour site,

cluster of five buildings at the extreme right of the model.

Students attending the summer session
may not normally take more than two
courses. Three courses will only be
permitted with special permission of the
dean of student services.

Sketch plans for the first phase of
construction of a college campus on the
Lynnmour site have been completed and
now all that is required is approval from
the Department of Education in Victoria to
permit a start on working drawings.

‘‘That approval must come very soon if
we are to have buildings ready for
occupancy by January of next year,’’ says
architect Robert Harrison, of Harrison,
Plasvic, Kiss, the architectural
consortium retained by the college.

Mr. Harrison said the architects have
spent a lot of time with college
administrators and department heads
seeking information on their specific
requirements.

‘We have had an excellent relationship
with the college staff and I believe that we

have arrived at a plan that everybody
likes,’’ he said.

“The plan is extremely flexible and, I
hope, catches the philosophy that was
originally placed before us. The aim was to
create a relationship of learning areas to
students in order to come up witha student-
oriented campus.’’

The proposed plans include a 23,000-
square foot learning resource area which
would also include faculty offices and
seminar rooms. ‘‘This means that the
faculty willbe wherethe students are,’’ he
said.

While the structures will be semi-
permanent they will be modular steel
buildings, with large spans that provide
maximum flexibility inside.
