How is Skeena Unique
According to UBC Okanagan website the most unique features are "the airtight, high efficiency building envelope and the heat recovery ventilation system." The heat recovery ventilation system helps keep your home environment healthy and clean by letting in natural air and getting rid of germs. It uses up less energy by using air that is leaving the environment producing heat for fresh air to enter your house during the colder seasons.

Study Rooms

Skeena also offers two big informal study rooms on the main floor of the building including T.V's, sofas, tables, chairs, and vending machines close by as well as a ping pong table for short study breaks. Students can choose to study, watch movies, play games, hang out with friends, or just relax in the big study rooms. By having these study rooms students can focus and not fall off track easily.
