Life Sciences Centre

The Life Sciences Centre, the largest building on UBC's Point Grey campus, was completed in 2004. This $125 million, 52,165 sq. meter facility was designed to support the distributed medical education program and the Life Sciences Institute. Featuring modern architecture, natural lighting, and state-of-the-art technology, the Life Sciences Centre is ideal for events of 10 to 1000 attendees, including seminars, poster sessions, week-long conferences, and specialized training sessions in collaboration with the Gross Anatomy Lab. The LSI team will help you find the perfect venue for your event.
