CapU Main Campus

Opened in 1973, the main North Vancouver campus of Capilano University is our hub for higher learning, with five faculties and more than 100 programs onsite.

The campus established a permanent place for CapU, after spending the first five years of its existence in various temporary structures around the North Shore, including portables at West Vancouver Secondary. 

Surrounded by lush forest and fresh mountain air, our main North Vancouver campus spans 34 acres and is an inspiring setting where you can learn and grow. 

There are more than a dozen buildings on campus, including our Centre for Sport and Wellness, the Bosa Centre for Film & Animation and newly-renovated Library, along with the full complement of student services and dining options.
