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 98,788) and is 178.6 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 27 buildings for learning spaces, which equal just over 1.6 million square feet. It also has 40 acres of gardens, including a teaching horticulture garden. The three on-campus housing complexes can accommodate 1200 students, and all 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 or clinics (e.g. dental, nursing, pharmacy, public health, veterinary) Yes Yes
Museum No No
Satellite campus Yes No
Farm larger than 2 hectares or 5 acres No No
Agricultural experiment station larger than 2 hectares or 5 acres No No
Hospital No No

The rationale for excluding any features that are present from the institutional boundary:
The satellite campus was not included in either the 2011, 2015, or 2018 reports, so in order to be consistent, and compare the same parameters, it will be left out of this report.
