Conference Space & Rates

The Institute's facilities include two well-appointed conference rooms opening to a broad terrace with spectacular views of Howe Sound and the North Shore Mountains. The beautiful site and bright, open design create a welcoming atmosphere for creative academic activity.

The conference rooms, operated for the Institute's programs, may be rented to UBC affiliates for conferences, meetings, dining, talks, retreats, and similar events. The rooms are separated with both a wooden and an acoustic partition. The smaller room at the west side of the building is 49 square meters (525 square feet) and the larger room is 72 square meters (775 square feet) in size. Capacity for each room varies according to room setup, up to a combined maximum of 80 occupants. [See floor plan.]
