Vancouver Island University has returned $3.5 million in funding to the provincial government.

A proposed child-care centre on its Nanaimo campus was abandoned due to cost overruns.

The 75 -space centre would have been a training hub for prospective early childhood educators, social workers, nurses and dental hygienists.

The university is planning for $486.6 million worth of capital projects across four campuses.
