Parking

Transit

The Emily Carr campus is centrally located between two Skytrain stations. It’s a 13-minute walk from either Main Street-Science World station on the Expo Line, or the VCC Clark station on the Millennium Line. And, the No. 84 bus goes right by our doors.

For more information on transit routes and bus schedules, visit TransLink’s trip planner.

Taxi/Uber/Lyft

As our physical address is technically in the rear of the building, you may wish to book your trip using the address of our neighbours at 565 Great Northern Way. The campus is located behind this building.
