CAMPUS :
TRU's main campus is in Kamloops. Located on a 230-acre site close to the city centre, the campus has a wide range of academic, athletic, service and recreational facilities.

Kamloops Campus :
TRU is located right in the heart of Kamloops, a city of over 80,000, at the centre of the southern Interior of BC. Shopping, housing, entertainment and even the province's largest municipal park are just a couple of blocks away. Whether you live on campus or ride a city bus with your U-Pass, everything you want and need as a student is right here. What could be more practical?

Superb summers, four dramatic seasons, sports and outdoor recreation, and a diversity of cultural activity that few small cities can match are among the attractions of Kamloops.

Williams Lake Campus:
Here, their friendly and professional staff strives to provide all students with a quality educational environment in order to achieve their fullest potential. Their dedicated faculty work equally as hard to provide you with learning opportunities that are relevant, challenging, and personally engaging for all students. Both add up to make TRU Williams Lake the place to be.

This year will be an exciting one for TRU Williams Lake as we have relocated to their new campus on Western Avenue. Here, students enjoy access to their classes, science and nursing laboratories, trades and technology shops, computer laboratories, the campus library, Registrar's and counseling offices, services for Aboriginal students, faculty offices, and student council facilities -- all under one roof in a new, state-of-the-art, wireless campus

Regional Centres:
TRU's region includes the Nicola Valley, Clearwater and the North Thompson, Lillooet and the upper Fraser Canyon, 100 Mile House, and the historic region known as the Cariboo. At the Williams Lake campus, in the heart of the Cariboo, students can begin study in degree programs, or choose various Career and Trades program options.

Campus Activity Centre :
The Campus Activity Centre (CAC) is TRU's student centre. This is a place where students can come to relax between classes or at the end of the day. It is also home to TRU's International Centre where international students can find counselling and support services.

TRU History :
What began in 1970 as a community college to deliver career-technical and two-year academic university transfer programs during the provinces' initial expansion of post-secondary education, Thompson Rivers University is now British Columbia's newest university.

TRU's New International Building :
The new International Building opened in April 2005. The International Building is a 50,000-square-foot facility providing extensive computer and language lab, lecture theatre, classroom, student lounge space, and wireless Internet access in the heart of the TRU campus.
