About Great North Way Campus
Great North Way Campus, anchored by the Centre for Digital Media (CDM), is a dynamic live-work-learn facility operated by four universities: UBC, SFU, ECUAD, and BCIT. Located at 685 Great Northern Way in Vancouver, BC, this multidisciplinary space hosts classrooms, studios, and rental/event spaces. While it is not a dedicated concert venue with a published seating chart, the CDM serves as a versatile hub for conferences, maker events, and collaborative gatherings. If you’re looking to host a tech-forward event, workshop, or showcase, we’ve got you covered with practical details on parking, transit, and nearby amenities.
Parking includes about a dozen hourly/daily stalls in front of Kafka’s Coffee, with underground parking at 565 Great Northern Way (South Flatz Lot #119). The campus is a short 10-minute walk to Main Street–Science World and VCC–Clark SkyTrain, making public transit a convenient option. Bus routes 84, 03, 08, 19, and 22 serve the area for easy access.
Nearby hotels within the Parq Vancouver complex—JW Marriott Parq Vancouver (39 Smithe Street) and The Douglas Parq Vancouver—offer upscale lodging about 1–2 miles away, with other downtown hotels a quick drive for attendees.
