Scott has been selected to build the first ever student residence for Capilano University. The project is scheduled for occupancy in 2025 and will provide much needed housing for more than 350 students.

The building will be constructed from mass timber and will feature a combination of large exposed beams and intricate Indigenous carvings. Scott is targeting Step 4 of the BC Energy Step Code, indicating an expected GHG emissions reduction of 86-percent over a baseline of LEED Gold with natural gas.
