Studio Information

The VABD Studio is conveniently located on Howe Street between Granville and Hornby and  Davie and Nelson Streets, at the Rhodes Wellness College, on the second floor of an upbeat, contemporary high-rise.  The Studio features its own entrance on Helmcken, right before the alley, on the north side of the building, under the blue and yellow Rhodes Wellness College sign.  There is a buzzer to gain entrance just  to the right of the door ~ you can’t miss it! ~ and an elevator straight ahead that will take you to the second floor.

The VABD Studio is air conditioned with 4 washrooms ~ 2 women’s and 2 men’s.

Transportation

The VABD Studio is less than a 10 minute walk from both the Burrard and Granville skytrain stations. Directly in front of the building are local and suburban bus stops.

Advanced Parking has the next closest lot that is reasonably priced at $5 and is a quarter block down a lit alley between Howe and Granville and Nelson and Smith.  It is open until 9PM Mon/Wed/Thurs and until 1 AM Tues/Fri/Sat/Sun.

Robson Court Parking is right on Smithe Street between Howe and Granville, 2 blocks east of  Helmcken and 1/2 block south of  Howe, costs $5,  is open until 1:00 AM and closed on holidays but then so are we!

We’ll keep our antennae out for more reasonable, safe and close parking and please let us know if you have a parking “find”.
