Campuses & Store
New Westminster Campus
715 McBride Boulevard, New Westminster, BC V3L 5T4
Our main campus is the administrative hub of the Institute. Even if you do not attend classes here, you will likely interact with staff at this location to register for courses, request an official transcript, or seek out Library and counselling services. The JIBC Store is also located at this campus.
Designed by Vancouver architect Richard Henriquez, the New Westminster Campus is comprised of two distinctive buildings. They are a unique blend of curves and sharp angles, brick, concrete, and steel, and include the main classroom office building and the Dr. Donald B. Rix Public Safety Simulation Building.
