A brief description of the institution’s main campus and other aspects of the institutional boundary used to complete this report:
The main campus is centrally located in Kamloops, B.C. (population 89,000) and is 160 acres. An additional 90 acres will be developed by the TRU Community Trust into a university village concept over the next decade. The campus is situated in a cross section of residential, commercial, industrial and urban wilderness environments. The main campus has 25 buildings for learning spaces, which equal close to 1 million square feet. It also has 40 acres of gardens, including a teaching horticulture garden and arboretum. The two on-campus housing complexes can accommodate 880 students. Students have access to the Kamloops Tournament Capital Centre, a world-class sports complex.

Which of the following features are present on campus and which are included within the institutional boundary?:
Present? Included?
Agricultural school No No
Medical school No No
Other professional school with labs and clinics (e.g. dental, nursing, pharmacy, public health, veterinary) Yes Yes
Satellite campus Yes No
Farm larger than 5 acres or 2 hectares No No
Agricultural experiment station larger than 5 acres or 2 hectares No No
Hospital No No

If there are features present that are not included within the boundary, provide:

The rationale for excluding any features that are present from the institutional boundary:
The satellite campus was not included in either the 2011 or 2015 reports, so in order to be consistent, and compare the same parameters, it will be left out of this report.
