The air is fresh up here!
Verdant forms an integral part of the UniverCity community. Staff and faculty of SFU will have a chance to locate their growing families within walking distance to work, the worldclass recreational and cultural facilities of the University, and the lush natural forests with trail networks that make Burnaby Mountain such a special place to live and breathe.

Community Card
Every UniverCity resident is eligible for a free Community Card that entitles them access to a wide range of SFU amenities including theatre and dance performances, a library with over one million holdings, and admission to competitive sports events and games. And in many cases, access to these special facilities is offered at preferential rates.

Activities for Children
At Verdant, families with children will find additional benefits in using the Community Card. Young children living at UniverCity will have priority in the SFU Childcare Society’s toddler daycare that is being integrated into the building. A future elementary school is planned for the adjacent parcel of land southwest of Verdant. Older children will be able to participate in the University’s highly-regarded summer sports and recreational camps.

Local Shops and Services
Located a short walk away in the Cornerstone Building you will find the shops and services you need: an organic deli, a bustling coffee shop, a convenient grocery store, a butcher, an art gallery and gift shop, a bike shop for your cycling needs, and many more. All of the shops and services in the Cornerstone Building have been selected for the quality of their products and services and also to reflect the regional character. And for those times when a vehicle trip is necessary, Burnaby Mountain is centrally located with quick access to the regional highway system making surrounding city centres only a short trip away.
