Another destination for us when we were downtown the other day was SFU's Harbour Centre campus since Jim had a couple of books to pick up there and I wanted to check out the campus and getting the bus there since I'm taking a 6 week course beginning in September on the Chinese Garden. Dead easy to get there by bus and so much easier and cheaper than driving and parking.

I was quite interested in the glass work they have there. Not much information there but I found this link by googling:
