=== Surrey campus === [[File:Harbour Centre 2015.jpg|thumb|upright=0.8|The School of International Studies is housed within [[Harbour Centre]].]] The Surrey campus consists of two buildings located in [[Whalley / City Centre]], [[Surrey, British Columbia|Surrey]]. The main building is part of [[Central City (Surrey)|Central City]], an architectural complex adjacent to the [[Surrey Central station|Surrey Central]] [[SkyTrain (Vancouver)|SkyTrain]] station. It was established in 2002 to absorb the students and programs of the former [[Technical University of British Columbia]], which was closed by the provincial government. It has since expanded to house the Surrey operations of other SFU programs. The Central City complex that houses the campus was designed by architect [[Bing Thom]] and opened in 2006.
