At present, the part of Burnaby Mountain below SFU is a park and conservation area. Apart from SFU and associated industrial/technical research park Discovery Park, there had been little development until recently. In 2003, the university commenced construction on a new residential and commercial area occupying approximately 200 acres adjacent to the campus, atop the mountain, called UniverCity. The area will contain up to 4,500 residential units in a number of neighbourhoods, along with a new town centre, schools, parks and other amenities. As of January 2007, approximately 1200 residences, and The Cornerstone building, which includes restaurants, shops, services and rental apartments are complete. Construction of another two mid-rise residential buildings (141 homes), a mixed-use building similar to The Cornerstone, and a 1400 car multi-level parkade will begin Spring 2007. The development is noted^{[citation needed]} for the first community transit pass program in Canada, and a prohibition on multi-national retailers in the town centre.

Transportation

A bus at Sperling-Burnaby Lake Station running route #144, which connects the university to the Vancouver SkyTrain system. The main route which connects SFU to the Skytrain is route #145, which goes from Production Way-University Station to the campus

The relatively remote location of SFU's main campus has long posed a transportation problem for its student body. This situation has, however, been significantly improved by the recent expansion of the Vancouver SkyTrain rapid transit system and the introduction of a low-fare university fare card, the U-Pass. The university community is now served by the Production Way-University and Sperling-Burnaby Lake SkyTrain stations.

SFU Surrey

Central City, home to SFU Surrey

SFU Surrey is a satellite campus of Simon Fraser University. It was opened in September 2002 to absorb the students and programs of the former Technical University of British Columbia when that institution was closed by the Gordon Campbell government. It has since expanded to house the Surrey operations of other SFU programs. Image File history File linksMetadata Sfusurrey. ... Image File history File linksMetadata Sfusurrey. ...

SFU Surrey is located in Central City, an award-winning^{[citation needed]} architectural complex adjacent to the Surrey Central SkyTrain station. Previously, SFU Surrey occupied the former TechBC facilities in a converted Zellers store in the Surrey Place mall. However, in Fall 2006 it opened its doors to the new mezzanine, galleria 3 and podium (home to the library and specialized SIAT multimedia labs). Galleria 4, home to Computing Science and other applied sciences programs such as the new Mechatronics program, was opened in February of 2007 and Galleria 5 was opened in Fall 2007. The fifth and final floor hosts the Faculty of Business, the Faculty of Arts and Social Sciences and the TechOne program, among others. Five classrooms, two seminar rooms, and five research labs for graduate students. It also has a media rich 150 seat policy/conference room, approximating the Canfor Policy Room at the downtown campus. The Westminster Savings Credit Union Theater, seating 200, opened in the fall of 2005 and has been used for public forums and community events as well as classes. Mezzanine may refer to: Mezzanine (architecture), an intermediate floor between main floors of a building In technology, a mezzanine can refer to a thin sheet of plastic insulating different parts of circuitry from each other in cramped environments, such as laptop interiors. ...

Coat of Arms and logo

New Coat of arms

Original Coat of arms

The original Coat of arms for SFU was adopted from the university's inception until 2006, at which point the Board of Governors voted to adapt the old coat of arms and thereby register a second coat of arms. The adaptation replaces two crosslets in the upper part of the arms with two books. Some in the university asserted that the crosses had misled prospective foreign students into believing SFU was a private, religious institution rather than a public, secular one.^[11] The change caused an uproar among alumni, students, campus staff, and others, who viewed it as a betrayal of the university's history and symbolism. In early 2007, SFU decided to register both the old coat of arms and the revised coat of arms featuring the books. In 2007, a new marketing logo was unveiled.^[12] The coat of arms will still be used on all official documents, such as degrees and transcripts, and by the president's and chancellor's offices. The logo will be used for all other forms of communication. The logo was designed in part by Canadian typographer Jim Rimmer, who based the unique typeface on Optima.^[13] The new logo, too, also caused debate among the campus population. Opponents said the design is too simple and/or too commercial. To many students, alumni, and staff the new logo lacks character befitting an internationally acclaimed university. Some debate centred on claims that the logo design itself had cost $250,000.^[14] The entire logo design actually totalled just under $250,000 and also includes the entire rebranding initiative, market research, audience research, and redesign of the university websites.^[15]

Appearances in Popular Culture

Due to the contemporary architecture of the Academic Quadrangle, the main campus is occasionally used for location shots in science fiction television series such as Stargate SG-1 and Battlestar Galactica. Its first use as a film set was for the 1972 science fiction film The Groundstar Conspiracy, in which the entire campus complex was used. The AQ also served as a backdrop for shots of "headquarters" in the television series The X-Files. Recently, in addition to other Vancouver-area landmarks, many parts of the Burnaby campus were used for the filming of the movie The 6th Day as well as "Agent Cody Banks". In early 2008, the Burnaby campus was again used for filming, this time for The Day the Earth Stood Still.
