A 98-year-old took a slow, careful drive across UBC’s Vancouver campus this week—on a series of flatbed trucks.The Old Fire Hall, built in 1926, was lifted from its foundation and transported to a temporary home where it will be shrink-wrapped and parked until its permanent relocation as part of the Lower Mall Precinct Student Housing Redevelopment Project on the current St. John’s College Site.
As weather patterns shift towards snow, we would like to remind you of information available to help you prepare for extreme weather.If UBC is subject to extreme winter weather conditions, the administration may decide to curtail in-person learning activities and non-necessary services. In the event of extreme weather, you are advised to regularly check https://www.ubc.ca/ for campus status updates.
