This page contains information on how to locate the MAGPIE research group.
Public Transportation
The MAGPIE group has a dedicated lab space at K9521 in ¶¡ÏãÔ°AV's Burnaby campus which is a short walk from ¶¡ÏãÔ°AV Transit Exchange Bay 1. To use public transport in Vancouver, you will need either a compass card or a contactless credit card, which you will tap when boarding a bus or entering a SkyTrain station. See the New Members page for more information about public transportation.
Bus Routes
Four bus routes go to the Burnaby ¶¡ÏãÔ°AV campus. On the way to ¶¡ÏãÔ°AV, all four buses stop twice on campus: first at Bay 2, then Bay 1. Get off at Bay 1 for the easiest access to the Math Department.
- 145: ¶¡ÏãÔ°AV - Production Way SkyTrain Station. The 145 goes from the Production Way SkyTrain station to ¶¡ÏãÔ°AV.
- 144: ¶¡ÏãÔ°AV - Metrotown. The 144 travels from Metrotown to ¶¡ÏãÔ°AV via Duthie Ave and Burnaby Mountain Parkway.
143: ¶¡ÏãÔ°AV - Burquitlam. The 143 goes from Burquitlam station to ¶¡ÏãÔ°AV via Broadway to Gaglardi Way.R5: ¶¡ÏãÔ°AV - Hastings Street. An express bus line, the R5 goes from downtown Vancouver to ¶¡ÏãÔ°AV along Hastings Street. If you are downtown, this bus is likely your fastest route to Burnaby ¶¡ÏãÔ°AV.
Travelling from YVR Airport
