We’re Investing in You!
As a University committed to exceptional teaching and learning, we’re investing in you through new space and campus upgrades, both in and outside of the classroom. Check out our CX100 Course videos below to learn about new space and campus upgrade projects.

An expanded Canada Games Complex will include a conference and event space, a fitness centre, the new Nancy Dingwall Health and Counselling Centre, studios for yoga, spin and dance, a walking track, as well as theatre-style spaces for lectures and presentations.
This space will also become Canada’s Home of Female Hockey, empowering girls and women to thrive in sport. Construction has already begun. Click here to learn more about the expanded Canada Games Complex.
Centre for Discovery and Innovation – Mid-2027
The Centre for Discovery and Innovation will house state-of-the-art research and instructional facilities that propel scientific inquiry, advance discovery and expedite local solutions for global problems. Featuring the latest in green technology and digital infrastructure, it will elevate Cape Breton Island as a national destination for research and a global destination for students.
The Cape Breton Medical Campus – September 2025
On January 27, 2023 as part of his State of the Province address here in Cape Breton, Premier Tim Houston announced the Cape Breton Medical Campus would become a reality. On March 7, 2023, the Premier again travelled to Cape Breton and announced a $58.9 million investment in the medical campus. Of that amount, $49 million is for the creation of a medical sciences centre, $6.2 million will create a 10,000 patient Collaborative Clinic and $3.7 million will expand the Health and Counselling Centre at CBU.
The campus will open no later than the fall of 2025 and will train up to 30 students each year.
What’s Next?
These renovations and new buildings mean we’re investing in the future of CBU and Cape Breton Island. This means we’re also investing in you. Our campus is about to undertake a transformational expansion that will support our growing campus community for generations to come.
