Cape Breton University has announced plans to build a new, three-storey campus residence building. The building will have 12 apartment-style units, based on feedback from students who expressed interest in units that had kitchens so that they could cook for themselves. “[A]nytime we can add new housing stock to the community, we’re hoping that creates a domino effect, we will have more students coming on campus, which will open up other units downtown as well,” said CBU Director of Housing Doug Connors. CBC reports that the building will cost over $2.5M.
