Chan Centre for the Performing Arts

This state of the art performing arts venue holds the 1,200-seat Chan Shun Concert Hall, the flexible-seating Telus Studio Theatre, the 160-seat Royal Bank Cinema, the Great Performers Lounge, and a glass lobby.

Their father, Chan Shun, worked his way up in the business world, from sewing in a shirt factory to eventually becoming the head of the Crocodile Garments textile and clothing company.

His sons were strongly influenced by his morals and generosity and in the 1980s, after immigrating to Canada, they decided to give back to their new country by helping to build an educational arts facility at UBC.

Compressed air is blown through tubes and the towers then hover approximately 1/2 inch above the ground and are moved into configuration by 4-6 people.

In the re-imagined Battlestar Galactica it is a building in the Cloud 9 luxury ship, and was used as the meeting place for the Quorum of Twelve.

In 2008, it was shown again, but this time, as The Madacorp building in the ABC Family show Kyle XY.

In 2017, the lobby of the Chan Shun Concert Hall and the Telus Studio Theater were seen in multiple episodes of Legion.
