Vancouver: A Vibrant City

More than just a desirable place to live and work, Vancouver is developing a reputation for its fresh perspective on business. The city is fast becoming a hot spot for innovative thinking, new technology and sustainable systems.

Its Pacific Rim location ideally positions Vancouver to serve as the connection point to and from the world’s emerging economic powers. Playing host to the 2010 Winter Olympics will reveal Vancouver’s beauty and prosperity to the world.

Segal Graduate School of Business

Easily Accessible, Centrally Located, Downtown Vancouver

Located in the heart of Vancouver’s business district at the corner of Granville & Pender Streets, the Segal Graduate School of Business is easily accessible from all parts of the Lower Mainland: just two blocks from the SkyTrain, Seabus Terminal, and the WestCoast Express; buses stop right outside the building; and Vancouver’s new Canada Line is only a half block away, providing rapid transit to central and south Vancouver, Richmond and the Vancouver International Airport. Coffee shops and food outlets in the surrounding five-block radius are too numerous to count. Access to Pacific Centre shopping is steps away, and fine dining, nightclubs and theatres are also in the immediate neighbourhood.

The award-winning heritage building that is home to the Segal Graduate School was donated by philanthropist Joseph Segal and his family in 2005. Extensive renovations created a magnificent yet contemporary learning environment within the walls of this 1923 heritage bank building, a fitting location for SFU’s graduate business programs.
