Campus and community

Nestled in Sydney’s downtown, overlooking the beautiful harbour, this new campus includes 4 buildings connected by a series of pedways. As one of Nova Scotia’s most accessible and sustainable new builds, it's designed following Rick Hansen Foundation Accessibility Certification (RHFAC) and Leadership Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) standards.

SWC’s downtown location means you are close to many off-campus amenities where you can enjoy the boardwalk, easy access to local shops and restaurants, or a visit to Wentworth Park.
