The University of British Columbia, in association with Polygon Properties Inc., have made an offer to each of the fraternities to purchase the leasehold interest on their properties, and have proposed a new Greek Village, located less than 1 kilometer away. This new greek village would centralize the locations of all of the fraternities on campus, and make the greek system more noticeable. The proposed configuration of the greek village consists of eight multi-storey lots, forming a horseshoe with a nice central courtyard location, covering an underground parking lot. Currently, every fraternity on UBC campus, with the exception of Beta Theta Pi is participating in these negotiations. Pending negotiation, construction is currently set to begin starting January 2000.
Preliminary plans have been drawn up for our house - there's a scanned picture here.
Current plans include four double rooms, thirteen single rooms, two accessible rooms, for a total of twenty three beds. Other rooms in the house include a spacious kitchen, four high-occupancy bathrooms, den, grand room, dining room, large recreational rooms, and plenty of storage. Don't be disillusioned - this place will be magnificent, and with seven other houses in the same area of similar quality, the UBC greek village will be one of the most recognizable greek villages in Canada.
