First Peoples House

In its 2007 strategic plan, the University of Victoria pledged to build "on our commitment to our unique relationship with Canada's First Peoples." One of the ways the university stated it would achieve this objective was through the construction of a First Peoples House.

First Peoples House creates an academic and cultural centre for Indigenous students, and a welcoming space on campus for the broader community. Designed by Alfred Waugh Architect of Vancouver in the Coast Salish style, the House includes academic, administrative and ceremonial spaces.
