UBC VANCOUVERIndependent research preview · Reconstructed architecture
FIRST PERSON · THIRD PERSON · AERIAL · MAP9 ENTERABLE RECONSTRUCTIONS
A university, open to your imagination.
Begin at the UBC entrance letters on University Boulevard and Wesbrook Mall. Walk onto the virtual baseball field, explore the Rose training hall, browse the Bookstore and visit the Student Nest. See Beaty’s suspended blue whale, descend to its collection gallery, and explore the study spaces at Irving K. Barber Learning Centre. Meet people naturally as you explore and start a conversation to learn who they are. At Orchard Commons, explore eight fictional demonstration bedrooms, shared bathrooms, a lounge and study area.
UBC Vancouver is on the traditional, ancestral and unceded territory of the Musqueam people.
Real geography. An evolving reconstruction.
This independent preview combines official UBC GIS data with original procedural architecture. Campus terrain uses a flat datum; interior heights and layouts are reference-based interpretations. Virtual access does not grant real-world access. This is not an official UBC project.
