To promote innovative health care and medical advancements for the future, the Government of British Columbia has invested $25 million into the construction of a new building for the School of Biomedical Engineering.

Since 2017, the UBC School of Biomedical Engineering offers undergraduate and graduate programs to more than 500 students annually. However, the school currently operates classes and labs in 24 buildings scattered across UBC’s Vancouver campus. UBC is building a new purpose-built facility for the school, aided by this $25 million grant from the Government of British Columbia. The province’s investment will result in better health care for all British Columbians.
