Vancouver - Robson Square

 
Right in the center of Vancouver the Robson Square complex extends across three blocks between the old court-house (now the Vancouver Art Gallery) and the seven-storied glass pyramid housing the new court-house (designed by the Vancouver-born architect Arthur Erickson and built in 1979). Various government departments occupy the different levels in the complex.

With roof garden terraces, small waterfall, pond and well-designed foyer the Square lends itself to open-air events in summer.

Off Robson St. there is a wide shopping concourse with restaurants, outdoor cafés and roller skating rink (ice skating in winter).
