State-of-the-art Gateway Health building opens as integrated hub for student health, teaching and research

February 26, 2026

UBC’s newest building, Gateway Health, is opening as a hub for student health, interdisciplinary teaching and collaborative research.

The 270,550-square-foot building gives a purpose-built home to the school of nursing, consolidates kinesiology programs from eight campus locations, and centralizes student health and wellbeing services for the first time.

Students now have access to modern teaching facilities, labs and study spaces designed to encourage collaboration. Later this year, Gateway Health will also host a new interprofessional teaching clinic, established through UBC Health, that will act as a unique space for developing and testing innovations in education and care.
