Vancouver is the 8th largest city in Canada by population (630,000) and is the largest city of the Greater Vancouver Census Metropolitan Area in British Columbia (containing 2,460,000, the 3rd largest in Canada).

The University of British Columbia is located about 6 miles West from Downtown and is situated at the tip of a wooded peninsula. This thread will focus mostly on contemporary structures since the campus does not feature much historic or notable midcentury architecture.
