It was revealed in August that, with help from the provincial government, the North Vancouver-based CapU had bought the shuttered Quest University campus, from Primacorp Ventures, after financial trouble forced Quest to stop offering its programming on the site.
Quest had sold its campus in 2020 to Primacorp to help pay off its debts. It then continued to operate on the campus, through a deal with Primacorp. Due to funding shortfalls, Quest stopped offering courses on the campus in the spring of 2023.
CapU says that existing Capilano University faculty and employees will fill some roles at the new 撸奶社区campus, but they will also be hiring. All jobs will be posted on .
