History

On February 1, 2017, LCI Education network acquired The Art Institute of Vancouver, which was rebranded to reflect its new association as LaSalle College Vancouver.

LaSalle College Vancouver was located in the district of Yaletown at the heart of Downtown Vancouver prior to the acquisition. The Yaletown campus closed its doors in the Fall 2017 and all current programs and students were moved to the new 80,000 square-foot Renfrew campus.
