Description

Described by Eos Lightmedia as more than a welcome centre, it hosts campus events (from movie nights to yoga classes) alongside interpretive, audiovisual-driven storytelling about the university. Note: independent public corroboration of this exact facility name/location beyond Eos Lightmedia's own project page was not found during sourcing; UBC operates multiple similarly named visitor/community facilities (e.g. the UBC Welcome Centre at the Robert H. Lee Alumni Centre, opened 2015, and the Wesbrook Community Centre, opened 2015) with different completion dates than the 2021 date given here, so this may reflect a later UBC facility not yet indexed elsewhere, or a variant name for one of them.
