From the fictional halls of Briar University to the streets of Vancouver 🎬🏒

Prime Video’s "Off Campus" may be set at the fictional Briar University in Massachusetts, but the series was filmed across Vancouver, British Columbia!

Key locations include the University of British Columbia (UBC), where the Irving K. Barber Learning Centre and Doug Mitchell Thunderbird Sports Centre helped bring Briar University to life.

Other Vancouver spots featured in the show include The Heatley (as Malone’s Bar) and the DOUGLAS Hotel (as Dean’s New York apartment).

Off Campus has quickly become a hit for Prime Video, climbing to the No. 1 spot on Amazon Prime Video in Canada.
