Conferences
Parking
2 parking passes are provided to group leaders for VST Visitor’s spots. If space is available, workshop attendees may obtain a parking permit from the front desk. Public transit to UBC is good (the bus loop is a short walk away) and UBC’s North Parkade and Rose Garden Parkade are nearby. See a printable map of the UBC campus.
Charges
A 25% non-refundable deposit is required to hold a room. The organizer will be emailed an invoice.
Additional charges will apply if furniture must be completely cleared from the room, if extensive reconfiguration is required, if cleaning is required following food and beverage service, or if damage is incurred to the room or surroundings.
Payment is due in full by VISA, MasterCard, debit or cheque. VST is not able to accept payment by JV (UBC’s journal voucher).
Catering
There is no restriction on catering, although caterers are requested to pick up their items by the following business morning. A ramp is located behind (south of) the Iona building for caterers to use. Access to Epiphany Chapel is via dedicated parking spots near the main door.
Elevator and Door Access
Main doors and the elevator in the Iona Building are programmed for access out of core hours. The group organizer needs to provide start and end times for events, and indicate when access to the building is required for organizers. A dolly may be requested to assist with bringing in supplies.
Audiovisual Equipment
An 8’ x 8’ projection screen, podium with microphone, TV/DVD player, CD player, LCD projector, overhead projector, flip chart paper and markers are available to rent. Reasonable charges will apply. The group organizer needs to reserve supplies at least one week prior.
