SFU Concourse - a photo on Flickriver

SFU Concourse

            In the early 1960s, Vancouver architect Arthur Erickson designed an open space, partly covered, as a place to mingle and debate, including a podium for anyone to speak to whoever cared to listen. Graduations are also held in this space. To the right is SFU’s Library—originally only as high as the roof above the concourse. In the 1970s, as the university grew, 2 more storeys were added, though not in a totally complimentary way, but offered great views of the sprawling Fraser Valley and Washington state, the ocean and Vancouver below Burnaby Mountain. To the left of the concourse are the theatre, bookstore, and pub at the SUB (student union building).  Through the open space, in the background, is the Rotunda under which students originally proceeded up the stairs from bussing up the mountain to emerge onto this plaza. While the university has added bright red patio furniture to the open air spaces, I chose to edit this photo in monochrome to emphasize the grey concrete that dominates the university’s architecture.
