The Sedgewick building houses the
school of environmental studies and three of UVic's interdisciplinary
centres: the centre on aging, the centre for the study of religion
in society, and the centre for global studies.
It also houses the aboriginal liaison office, and the university's
offices of
equity and human rights, women's advisor, ceremonies,
communications, human resources, and occupational health and safety.
The building is named for Dr. Garnett Sedgewick (1882 - 1949), who was the dynamic head of the University of British Columbia English department from 1918 to 1948. His name commemorates the close link that UVic’s predecessor Victoria College had with UBC.
The
Vandekerkhove Wing is named after
Allen and Loreen Vandekerkhove, who were instrumental
in establishing the Centre for Studies in
Religion and Society that is housed in the wing.
