NEWS RELEASE

To serve the educational needs of
Douglas College communities on the
North side of the Fraser River a new
campus will open this September in the
Education Centre at Riverview Hospital
in Coquitlam.

Arrangements were completed this
week for the centre to be transferred
from the provincial Department of
Health to the Department of Education
with the understanding the college
would use it as a Coquitlam campus.

The Education Centre was built in
1957 for the training of psychiatric
nurses, and it was in use until 1972
when the Registered Psychiatric Nurs-
ing program was transferred to BCIT.

The new Coquitlam campus is expected
to serve 400-500 students.

Only very minor modifications to the
centre are needed to accommodate the
college, since present facilities there
include three lecture theatres seating
from 65 to 234 students, 17 offices,
eight spacious classrooms, a lounge/
study area, and a former residence. Douglas 12
