NSCC launches new on-campus housing for students

The first two of seven Nova Scotia Community College (NSCC) on-campus housing projects are now complete and will welcome the first 150 students for the fall term. On Monday, Premier Tim Houston toured the facility at the NSCC Pictou campus in Stellarton, which will accommodate 50 students. Advanced Education Minister Brian Wong toured the Akerley campus in Dartmouth, which will house 100 students. All beds are occupied for the start of the school year.

“I’m thrilled that these two facilities were completed on time and will be ready to welcome 150 students in Stellarton and Dartmouth in September,” said Premier Houston.

The on-campus housing projects at NSCC’s Pictou and Akerley campuses were announced in November 2022. Additional housing projects will add about 470 beds across various NSCC campuses, as part of the province’s housing and homelessness strategy released in October 2021.
