Construction
VCC’s North parking lot between Great Northern Way and 7th Avenue, the location of the new building, has been closed since June for site preparations.
As construction commences, we ask for your patience and understanding as we work towards enhancing our facilities for future generations of students.
Timeline
Construction for the CCEAI has been underway since June 2024. Here are some key dates (dates are approximate and are subject to change):

Parking impacts
Paid parking spaces are available in VCC's parking lot east of Building B (located along Keith Drive). Please obtain a VCC parking permit from the security desk on Level 2 of Building B. A student or employee ID will be verified by security staff before a permit is issued.
There are approximately 90 stalls, including 4 EV stalls for short-term charging. Drop off parking will remain available and designated for McGregor Daycare use only.
Street parking is available in the surrounding neighbourhood. Please ensure you adhere to the City of Vancouver’s parking by-laws. Consider walking, cycling, using a ride-share, or taking transit to get to the Broadway campus.

The CCEAI is designed by Stantec and RJC Engineers in collaboration with Two Row Architect (Indigenous design collaborator).
