NIC unveils new space for health care, early childhood education programs

North Island College has announced the opening of its new learning space at the former Surgical Day Care space at St Joseph’s General Hospital in Comox, BC. Renovations have transformed the area to include two classrooms, study areas, meeting rooms, and skills labs, allowing students to complete theory and lab components of their program in the same community. NIC will use the space to host the Health Care Assistant and Early Childhood Care and Education programs for 2019-2020. “We are looking forward to making the most of this space over the next few years while we seek more permanent solutions to the severe space constraints at our Comox Valley campus,” states NIC President John Bowman.
