[edit] History
Before being known as the Vancouver Community College, it was formerly the Vancouver City College. VCC was established in 1965 by bringing the Vancouver Vocational Institute (1949), the Vancouver School of Art (1925), the Vancouver School Board's Night School Program (1909) and the King Edward Senior Matriculation and Continuing Education Centre (1962) under one name.
The Vancouver Community College used to have a third campus known as the Langara campus. However in April 1994, the Langara Campus separated from VCC to form Langara College.
[edit] Campus
The Vancouver Community College has two separate campuses. The Downtown Vancouver Campus is located at 250 West Pender Street at the intersection of Cambie Street and Pender Street. Its second campus known as the Broadway Campus, 1155 East Broadway, is by the VCC–Clark SkyTrain Station.
