Engineering expansion project
The Ring
UVic has reached the detailed design stage of the engineering expansion project that aims to showcase UVic’s expertise in environmental sustainability with world-leading green buildings, a mass timber structure, and green and solar roofs.
Indigenous law centre becomes a reality
The Ring
The National Centre for Indigenous Laws was made a reality at UVic with $13 million from the BC government, $9.1 million from the federal government and $5 million from the Law Foundation of BC.
Building a tree-planting robot
The Ring
Many students spend their summers tromping through slash-piles and battling blackflies to replant Canada’s forests. Two UVic engineering undergrads took a different approach: they designed and built a tree-planting robot with the idea of supplementing the humans’ hard work. “TreeRover” is the brainchild of third-year electrical engineering students Nick Birch and Tyler Rhodes. Through an entrepreneurial co-op work term, they formed their own company—Iota Enterprises—to build their robot prototype in Rhodes’ Saanich backyard.
Online Academic Community
The Ring
Looking to create a personal website? A blog to discuss your latest research? Maybe you want a place to show off photos of your cat? Thanks to the Online Academic Community (OAC), current University of Victoria employees and students can now create their own websites and blogs—all you need is a NetLink ID. With more than 100 themes and plugins available, UVic faculty, staff and students can create, customize and manage their own sites—professional or personal—through a university-supported WordPress platform.

The Ring
UVic has made some big strides in the last few years—in terms of national and international recruitment, research, and graduates’ success—but that’s not to say we’re sheltered from demographic change, competition, and the sustainability challenges facing post-secondary institutions, UVic President Jamie Cassels said during an Oct. 7 Campus Update session.
The Ring
It’s probably not on many graduates’ lists of what to do after convocation, but it’s at the top of Chelsea Falconer’s: she’s going to get cracking on the post-apocalyptic novel she’s had in her head for almost as long as she’s been at UVic.
