With future growth planned to accommodate up to 200 students, the need for adequate classroom and housing space at CBS has grown tremendously. In response to this need, Chökyi Nyima Rinpoche has expressed his wish to begin construction of a new building complex, containing new classrooms, a library, administrative offices, guest quarters, and much-needed living space for students attending the CBS program.

The objective of the building expansion project is to create an environment where the students at CBS can live and work as a community – strengthening and enhancing both the academic and social environment of the program. In this way the overall student experience will be enriched and the international recognition of the program will be strengthened. 

Construction of the building is expected to begin in 2008 with completion by 2010.

The planned buildings will be approximately 3,500 square meters and the budgeted cost is US$ 600,000.
