New Home for Creativity at The Art Institute of Vancouver
The Art Institute of Vancouver will be delivering its creative courses from a brand new location as of Summer 2009
Vancouver – The new campus will be conveniently located at the base of the Renfrew Skytrain station, at the corner of Renfrew Street and East 12th Avenue in Vancouver. The purpose built 80,000 square foot campus will feature two floors of classrooms and studios, allowing for increased space for students to create, design, and network, as well as expanded access to parking.
The Art Institute of Vancouver’s West Georgia and Dunsmuir Street campuses will relocate in 2009, to be joined by the Burnaby campus in 2010. The International Culinary School at The Art Institute of Vancouver, along with the Culinaria Restaurant, will remain at its present location in the Canaccord Tower, on Granville Street in downtown Vancouver.
“We believe that our new custom built campus will benefit all students and staff, with its accessible location and modern facilities,” said Tom Kim, President of The Art Institute of Vancouver.
The move is reflective of the organization’s commitment to continual improvement and a learner-centered environment. Tom Kim adds, “We are extremely proud of our success so far and this move is part of our dedicated efforts to help our students and graduates achieve excellence and employment in their chosen creative careers.”
