BC ARTISTS: B.C. College of Arts building

B.C. College of Arts building in 1996

This is a scan of a 35mm colour photograph taken by the author around 1996. The interior of the old B.C. College of Arts building has seen better days. Abandoned, half-burnt out, open to the sky, inhabited by shopping cart squatters, it was a very interesting building to explore. The door marked "worm hole" on the right leads to a wide and elegant set of concrete stairs going down to the basement. The upper balcony is about to fall off the wall it's attached to, and was the location where the College's classes and graduation ceremonies were photographed from.
