Simon Fraser University has three campuses, each located in different parts of [[Greater Vancouver]]. SFU's original campus is located in Burnaby, atop Burnaby Mountain. The Vancouver campus consists of multiple buildings in downtown Vancouver and the Surrey campus is located inside [[Central City (Surrey)|Central City]].

The downtown campus has expanded to include several other buildings in recent years, including the [[Segal Graduate School of Business]]. In September 2010, SFU Contemporary Arts<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.sfu.ca/sca |title=SFU.ca |publisher=SFU.ca |access-date=2011-02-20}}</ref> moved into the Woodward's redevelopment, known as the Goldcorp Centre for the Arts.

SFU's three campuses are all accessible by public transit. The Vancouver campus is a block away from the [[Waterfront Station (Vancouver)|Waterfront SkyTrain station]] while the Surrey campus is adjacent to the [[Surrey Central station|Surrey Central SkyTrain station]]. The Burnaby campus is linked to the [[Production Way–University station|Production Way–University]], [[Burquitlam station|Burquitlam]], and [[Sperling–Burnaby Lake station|Sperling–Burnaby Lake]] SkyTrain stations by frequent shuttle bus service.[[File:TASC1.jpg|thumb|Technology and Science Complex 2 (TASC 2), housing major research laboratories and offices]]

The main campus is located atop [[Burnaby Mountain]], on Traditional Coast Salish Lands, including the [[Tsleil-Waututh First Nation|Tsleil-Waututh]] (səl̓ilw̓ətaɬ), [[Kwikwetlem First Nation|Kwikwetlem]] (kʷikʷəƛ̓əm), [[Squamish Nation|Squamish]] (Sḵwx̱wú7mesh Úxwumixw) and [[Musqueam Indian Band|Musqueam]] (xʷməθkʷəy̓əm) Nations.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.sfu.ca/clf/styleguide/sfu-style/traditional-acknowledgements.html|title=Traditional Acknowledgements|website=Simon Fraser University|access-date=2020-08-25|archive-date=2021-01-24|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20210124170722/https://www.sfu.ca/clf/styleguide/sfu-style/traditional-acknowledgements.html|url-status=dead}}</ref> The campus is at an elevation of 365 metres, overlooking the Burrard inlet to the north. All major departments in the university are housed at the Burnaby campus. The library on the main campus is called the [[W. A. C. Bennett]] Library, named after the [[Social Credit]] Premier of B.C. who established it. The campus also has two gym complexes, named the Lorne-Davies Complex and Chancellor's Gym. An international-sized swimming pool is located within the Lorne-Davies Complex. Since the School of Contemporary Arts relocation to the Woodward's location, the Burnaby campus production theatre has been vacant. Located within the heart of the campus are the Museum of Archaeology and Ethnology and three art galleries. The campus has been awarded numerous architectural awards over the years, including the gold medal for Lieutenant-Governor 2009 Awards in Architecture and the 2007 Royal Architectural Institute of Canada's Prix du XXe siècle.<ref name="sfu.ca">{{cite web|url=https://www.sfu.ca/fs/Campus-Planning/AAA.html|title=Awards and Achievements - Campus Planning|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20131226101600/http://www.sfu.ca/fs/Campus-Planning/AAA.html|url-status=dead|archive-date=December 26, 2013|website=Simon Fraser University|department=Facilities Services}}</ref><ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.raic.org/honours_and_awards/awards_xxe/xxe-2007recipients/simonfraser_e.htm |access-date=January 16, 2012 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20140906020050/http://www.raic.org/honours_and_awards/awards_xxe/xxe-2007recipients/simonfraser_e.htm |archive-date=September 6, 2014 |title=Prix du XXe siècle – 2007 Recipients|website=[[Royal Architectural Institute of Canada]]}}</ref>

Due to the contemporary [[Brutalist architecture]] of the Burnaby Mountain campus, many buildings, including the WAC Bennett Library and Academic Quadrangle have been used for location shots in various films and television programmes over the years.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://students.sfu.ca/filming|title=SFU in films and television|website=Simon Fraser University|url-status=dead|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20111007233946/http://students.sfu.ca/filming/|archive-date=2011-10-07}}</ref>

====Library, archives, museums and galleries<span class="anchor" id="W.A.C. Bennett Library"></span>====
Each campus has its own library, the largest of which is the W.A.C. Bennett Library based on the SFU Burnaby campus, which holds over 2.7 million print and microform volumes.

SFU also has a Museum of Archeology and Ethnology, which holds many exhibits created by students as part of the museum studies courses offered in the Department of Archaeology. Archaeological collections arising from excavations and other research by faculty, staff and students are housed in the museum. Several large wooden sculptures ('totem') poles from the [[Royal British Columbia Museum]] in Victoria represent the major art traditions of the indigenous coastal peoples of British Columbia. The museum holds an extensive collection of Indonesian wayang kulit shadow puppets and ethnographic objects from around the world. The museum's image collection holds over 120,000 35&nbsp;mm slides and digital images of archaeological and ethnographic interest.

The SFU Library's Digital Collections provide internet access to digitized documents from a number of archival collections, such as [[Harrison Brown]]'s [[Xi'an Incident]] collection,<ref>{{cite web|url=http://edocs.lib.sfu.ca/projects/Harrison-Brown/|title=Harrison Brown: The Sian Incident and Beyond|work=Edocs.lib.sfu.ca|access-date=2011-02-20|archive-date=2011-07-06|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20110706203322/http://edocs.lib.sfu.ca/projects/Harrison-Brown/|url-status=live}}</ref> and the history of British Columbia and Western Canada in general, including documents from the [[Doukhobor]] migration from the [[Russian Empire]] to [[Saskatchewan]] and then to British Columbia assembled for donation to the university by John Keenlyside.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://digital.lib.sfu.ca/doukhobor-collection-simon-fraser-university|title=Doukhobor Collection of Simon Fraser University|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20241007223450/https://digital.lib.sfu.ca/doukhobor-collection-simon-fraser-university|archive-date=2024-10-07|department=Special Collections|website=lib.sfu.ca|access-date=2024-11-11}}</ref> Other highlights of the collection include The Vancouver Punk Collection, which includes more than 1200 posters as well as photographs, zines, and ephemera, the British Columbia Postcards Collection, and more than 9800 editorial cartoons from Canadian newspapers.<ref>{{cite web|title = Collection highlights and introduction: Special Collections and Rare Books|url = https://www.lib.sfu.ca/about/branches-depts/special-collections/exhibits-projects/punk|access-date = 2024-11-11|archive-date = 2015-09-10|archive-url = https://web.archive.org/web/20150910173916/http://www.lib.sfu.ca/about/branches-depts/special-collections/introduction|url-status=live|website=lib.sfu.ca}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web|url=http://www.lib.sfu.ca/about/branches-depts/special-collections/punk|title=The Vancouver Punk Collection|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20150925035950/http://www.lib.sfu.ca/about/branches-depts/special-collections/punk|archive-date=2015-09-25|access-date=2024-11-11|url-status=live|website=lib.sfu.ca|department=Special Collections}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web|url=https://digital.lib.sfu.ca/british-columbia-postcards-collection|website=lib.sfu.ca|department=Special Collections|url-status=live|title=British Columbia Postcards Collection|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20151005020127/http://www.lib.sfu.ca/about/branches-depts/special-collections/bc-postcards |archive-date=2015-10-05|access-date=2024-11-11}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web|url=https://digital.lib.sfu.ca/edcartoons-collection|title=Editorial Cartoons Collection|website=lib.sfu.ca|department=Special Collections|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20151023015243/http://www.lib.sfu.ca/about/branches-depts/special-collections/manuscripts/editorial-cartoons |archive-date=2015-10-23|access-date=2024-11-11|url-status=live}}</ref>

==== UniverCity ====
{{Main|UniverCity}}
UniverCity is an urban community located on top of [[Burnaby Mountain]], adjacent to Simon Fraser University. It has won several awards for sustainable planning and development.<ref>{{cite news|url=http://www.univercity.ca/news_+_events.8.html?newsId=144|title=UniverCity Honoured With ULI Award for Excellence|publisher=UniverCity|date=2009-04-24|access-date=2011-02-20|url-status=dead|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20110706211236/http://www.univercity.ca/news_+_events.8.html?newsId=144|archive-date=2011-07-06}}</ref> Envisioned in 1963 by Arthur Erickson and Geoffrey Massey, the area adjacent to the university was not officially rezoned for development until 30 years later. Development of the community began in early 2000, when Simon Fraser University commenced construction on a new residential and commercial area occupying approximately {{convert|200|acre|ha|order=flip}} adjacent to the campus. {{as of|2011|9}}, approximately 3000 people live in UniverCity. The main commercial district on University High Street now houses restaurants, stores, and a 20,000 square foot Nester's Market. A new elementary school, University Highlands Elementary, opened on September 1, 2010. Several new residential developments are currently in progress, including the construction of a 12-storey high rise in the heart of UniverCity.<ref>{{Cite web|url=http://www.univercity.ca/code/navigate.php?Id=95|title=Current Developments|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20120425091741/http://www.univercity.ca/code/navigate.php?Id=95 |archive-date=April 25, 2012|url-status=dead|website=UniverCity}}</ref>

=== Vancouver campus ===
[[File:W43 Tower Vancouver.jpg|thumb|upright=0.8|The School for the Contemporary Arts within the [[Woodward's Building]]]]
The Vancouver campus was launched in the 1980s with a storefront classroom. It was the first urban university classroom in British Columbia. A significant portion of funding for the building of the campus came from the private sector. The Vancouver campus has eight buildings spread across the downtown core: SFU [[Harbour Centre]], the Morris J. Wosk Centre for Dialogue, the [[SFU Business|Segal Graduate School of Business]], SFU Contemporary Arts at the restored [[Woodward's Building]], SFU Charles Chang Innovation Centre, SFU Vancity Office of Community Engagement at 312 Main, SFU VentureLabs, SFU Collection at Bill Reid Gallery of Northwest Coast Art, and SFU Contemporary Arts at 611 Alexander Visual Arts Studio. The original campus building at Harbour Centre, a rebuilt heritage department store, officially opened on May 5, 1989. Today, the entire campus serves more than 70,000 people annually. Approximately 10,000 are graduate and undergraduate students enrolled in courses and degree programs based downtown. The Belzberg Library<ref>{{cite web| url = http://www.lib.sfu.ca/about/branches-depts/belzberg| title = Belzberg Library| access-date = 2016-01-15| archive-date = 2016-01-27| archive-url = https://web.archive.org/web/20160127143501/http://www.lib.sfu.ca/about/branches-depts/belzberg| url-status = live}}</ref> is based at the Vancouver campus. <!--[[File:Woodwards sfu.jpg|thumb|right|SFU Woodwards, home to the School of Contemporary Arts]]-->

In September 2010, SFU Contemporary Arts relocated to the historic Woodward's district in downtown Vancouver known as the Goldcorp Centre for the Arts. The {{convert|130,000|sqft|m2|0|adj=on}} SFU facility is part of the [[Woodward's]] revitalization project. The new facility accommodates the increasing enrolment of students in the programme and new cultural facilities, including the Fei and Milton Wong Experimental theatre, screening rooms, sound studios, and art galleries.
