In Vancouver, there are three campuses that make up the Vancouver Community College. The first one, known as the Downtown campus, sits in Hamilton at the 200 Block Dunsmuir. This campus is easily accessible via Vancouver's SkyTrain. The second campus, called the Broadway campus, is located at 1155 East Broadway. Constructing this campus amounted to $55 million in total expenses. The Government of British Columbia contributed $44 million, while the remaining $11 million came from various community donors and the Vancouver Community College itself. The building spans seven stories and covers 12,400 square meters (133,000 square feet), housing the Health Sciences Training programs of the college. This campus, which opened in January 2009, is also known for its prominent size and facilities. The third campus, established in 2014, serves as the home for the Heavy Metal Trades of the Vancouver Community College. This campus is shared with the VCC/BCIT campus. Beyond these three primary campuses, the Vancouver Community College operates approximately 36 additional centers for learning and community outreach.
