Fairleigh Dickinson University is celebrating the opening of its new state-of-the-art campus at Oakridge Park.

Since FDU Vancouver opened in 2007, the campus has grown into a diverse academic community, and its new home at Oakridge Park marks an important milestone in the University’s commitment to providing a personal, global, and transformational education.

With more than 70,000 square feet of learning and collaborative space, FDU Vancouver, a not-for-profit comprehensive university, is now located within one of Vancouver’s newest cultural, residential, and business communities. The new campus reflects the University’s ongoing investment in student success and workforce development. It provides innovative, personalized learning environments while helping respond to the growing demand for skilled professionals.

“Our new campus is a place designed to inspire ambition, bring people together, and strengthen connections between education, industry, and community,” said Michael Avaltroni, president of Fairleigh Dickinson University. “We want students to build meaningful careers and make a lasting impact in the communities they serve.”

Designed by Perkins&Will, the new campus features 18 modern classrooms, computer and science labs, AI lab, collaborative spaces, student support areas, and a multipurpose event space. It is located along the Cambie Corridor near Oakridge–41st Avenue SkyTrain station.

Alongside its degree programs, FDU Vancouver is expanding professional learning through its new Continuing Professional Education offerings. With flexible 6 to 12-month certificate programs, CPE is designed to respond to evolving workforce needs and support the province’s economic development strategies.

Oakridge Park is a massive new mixed-use development that officially opened in May, 2026.
