Camosun College - Victoria enrolled its first students in September 1971 when it opened as a two-year institution offering university transfer, vocational and upgrading courses to the residents of southern Vancouver Island. The roots of Camosun College - Victoria began in 1914 when the Young Building was built as Victoria's first Normal School on part of a seven and a half acre plot belonging to the Hudson's Bay Company. The school's enrollment at the time was about 275. During the Second World War, the Young Building was converted into a military hospital. In 1946, the building was returned to its original function as an educational institution shared between the Normal School and Victoria College, which were united in 1955.
In 1967 the Normal School and Victoria College moved to the site of the Gordon Head Campus of the University of Victoria and the Institute of Adult Studies was established by the Greater Victoria School Board. The Institute of Adult Studies was located in what is currently the Ewing Building, and was the first centre in Canada to offer daytime courses for adults wishing to upgrade to high school graduation. From the inception of the Institute, local interest in a community college grew. On October 9, 1970 Victoria residents voted in favour of establishing a college, and plans for “Juan de Fuca” College were followed. The provincial government formally approved Camosun College - Victoria on October 27, 1970.
In 1971 the college councilors voted on a name change, and “Camosun” (pronounced Cam-O-sun) was chosen, as it was an early name for Victoria. It is originally a Lekwungen (Songhees) name for an area of Victoria where different waters meet and are transformed. By September 1971 the final steps toward the realization of a college were taken when Camosun (Lansdowne campus) and the BC Vocational School (Interurban campus) merged to become BC’s ninth community college. The trade-mark with the words `Camosun College` was filed with the Canadian Intellectual Property Office Canadian Trade-marks database on 2008-02-22.
