The University provides outstanding undergraduate and graduate learning opportunities that explore cultures, health, economies, sciences, and the environment. The UNBC Library offers state-of-the-art research technology, a learning commons, research data centre, and a full range of services to students and faculty in an attractive four-story building featuring an impressive wood and light-filled atrium, comprehensive archives, and library holdings reaching 800,000 items.
