Learn More About the CLC The Chapman Learning Commons officially opened in 2002, with renovations completed in 2020 to reinvigorate the space. The CLCs history is rooted in the history of the Irving K. Barber Learning Centre and its previous iteration, the Main Library, one of the first three buildings built on the UBC-V campus. The CLC is located on the stolen ancestral and traditional territory of the hən̓q̓əmin̓əm̓ speaking xʷməθkʷəy̓əm (Musqueam) people. UBC is a product of a long history of colonialism, an ongoing reality for Indigenous Peoples around the world today. We are thankful to be able to learn and work on these lands and hope to foster a welcoming, respectful, and inclusive environment at the CLC.
