St. John’s College Residence Contract 2025/26:
St. John’s College is no longer intaking for membership due to construction to begin this May on our current site. We are expanding!. Read more about the Lower Mall Precinct Project (LMP).
In August 2024, UBC and the Province of BC announced a major partnership to build a new student residence complex in the Lower Mall Precinct, on the current site of St. John’s College. The Lower Mall Precinct (LMP) project will address the growing demand for student housing by building over 1,500 graduate student focused beds.
This $560 million project, with $300 million provided by the BC government, is the largest provincial contribution to a building project in UBC’s history. With this site redevelopment, SJC will be able to grow our programming and fellowship, along with with Student Housing, for more graduate students and for the UBC community.
St. John’s College’s capacity will double in size in the Lower Mall Precinct!
The LMP project is currently in design development, with a project team including Ryder Architecture + 3XN, UBC Properties Trust, UBC Campus + Community Planning, UBC Student Housing and Community Services, and St. John’s College.
While we are not currently taking residence applications, we welcome those interested in graduate housing in the new LMP in 2028/29 to fill out our Residence Expression Interest Form.
