Campus Planning & Facilities Management
How do we create a welcoming campus? How do we create spaces that build community and engage learners? How can our physical campuses help UFV to truly be a House of Transformation?
UFV's campus plans seek to answer those questions. They are a framework for change that will guide how the University of the Fraser Valley's campuses physically evolve over the next 20 - 25 years. Addressing everything from new buildings to renovations to green space and transportation, these campus plans reflect in-depth consultation, creative visioning, and responsible planning for the future of UFV.

A history of growth & development
UFV has over 40 years of history in the Fraser Valley. Over time it has evolved from a small teaching college to a highly regarded university offering a wide range of post-secondary education opportunities. UFV initially operated as a "college without walls," holding classes in rented and borrowed facilities. Today, UFV operates two main campuses in Abbotsford and Chilliwack, as well as several centres in the surrounding neighbourhoods and communities of Clearbrook, Mission, and Hope.
