Workshop space is available at the Chapman Learning Commons on Level 3 of the Irving K. Barber Learning Centre. The Chapman Learning Commons, located on Level 3 of the Irving K. Barber Learning Centre on the UBC Vancouver campus, includes two workshop spaces, the Dodson (302) and Lillooet (301) Rooms, which are available for booking. The Dodson and Lillooet Rooms are available to UBC users (faculty, staff, students). Room booking fees may apply.
Events and activities in the Dodson and Lillooet Room should contribute to lifelong learning and student academic success by enhancing information technology skills, learning skills, wellness and by promoting unique, open learning opportunities. Events must be public, open to all students and have campus wide impact. Please note that we are unable to host closed events, meetings, classes, fundraisers, events that are commercial in nature, or concerts/recitals (with the exception of the Dodson Music Series).
Through the workshop space provided in the Chapman Learning Commons, we strive for an environment that fosters dialogue and discussion and that supports student learning. The Chapman Learning Commons management team reserves the right to make decisions around what events are deemed appropriate for our space.
