Part of an ambitious mixed-use redevelopment in Vancouver’s Downtown Eastside, the Goldcorp Centre for the Arts is the new home for Simon Fraser University’s School for the Contemporary Arts. This multi-disciplinary facility for visual and performing arts represents a unique, flexible and highly accessible forum for learning that encourages collaboration between the university and the local professional arts community. The program for the school includes a 400-seat flexible black-box theatre, art gallery, multi- use exhibition/reception areas, classrooms and offices.
