New technologies are changing how we work, play and live: innovation driving inspiration to support a strong and sustainable future for our province and world.
As President of BCIT, I see the power of innovation and inspiration every day. It animates our students as they achieve new skills and discover new ideas to advance their careers. It propels our educators who see the potential in new technology for teaching, learning and industry. Across our campuses it creates an energy and a buzz as ideas are born and shared; as collaboration and innovation unite; as thoughts, actions and solutions emerge for a complex and changing world.
Our “Inspire” capital campaign, the largest in our history, will create a new future at BCIT by making significant investments in three key pillars: campus redevelopment; access and inclusion; and teaching and learning innovation.
This investment will ensure that the power of inspiration and innovation remains a catalyst for meaningful change, and a key ingredient in our people, programs, partnerships, and community at BCIT.
We hope you will be inspired to join us on this journey.

WITH INSPIRATION
COMES TRANSFORMATION.
Our campaign, the largest in our 50-year history, will usher in a new era at BCIT. We are making a bold investment in the future, reimagining our Burnaby campus as a community where solutions to our most urgent challenges are born, tested, and readied for the world.
Campus Redevelopment
INSPIRED FROM THE GROUND UP.
We are building a campus that inspires curiosity, accelerates discovery, fosters connection, and harnesses partnership for impact at home and beyond. Our campus redevelopment project takes applied learning to the next level. Where state of the art learning becomes transparent, offering windows into workshops, facilitating social and inter-disciplinary collaboration and dialog.
Access and Inclusion
INSPIRATION KNOWS NO BOUNDS.
For 50 years, we have educated generations of students from all walks of life and all areas of the world. Our campaign will ensure our doors remain open to all students, experts, professionals, and innovators who aspire to transform their lives and the world through education.
Teaching and Learning Innovation
NEW WAYS TO LEARN.
NEW WAYS TO BE INSPIRED.
Innovation is advancing teaching and learning beyond traditional boundaries, preparing today's inspired learners for the workplaces of tomorrow. From virtual reality to aerospace, our campaign enables us to harness new ideas and new technology to create virtual learning tools and advanced simulations. To empower students in a world where technology is at the heart of every business, and every sector.
