Location and Transportation

Venue Address

Farquhar Auditorium

University Centre, 3800 Finnerty Road

Victoria, British Columbia V8P 5C2

Located within Victoria on the University of Victoria campus, Farquhar Auditorium sits at the heart of the University Centre — a convenient hub for arts and campus life.

• Parking: On-site pay parking is available in nearby university lots and metered spaces; lots can fill quickly during major events, so early arrival is recommended.
• Public Transit: Served by several BC Transit bus routes connecting to downtown Victoria and surrounding neighborhoods.
• Rideshare & Dropoff: Rideshare drop-off and pickup are available at University Centre entrances.

Arrival Recommendations

Plan to arrive 45–60 minutes before showtime, especially for major events when campus parking fills up quickly. With reserved seating throughout the auditorium, you’ll have plenty of time to find your seat, visit concessions, and settle in before the lights go down.

Because the venue is indoors, weather won’t affect the show — a relief during wetter months. Still, if you’re parking in campus lots, expect a brief walk along mostly flat pathways to the University Centre. Comfortable shoes make the stroll easier, and arriving early helps you avoid last-minute rushes.

Public transit via BC Transit is a convenient alternative to campus parking. If you're using rideshare, set your drop-off for the University Centre entrance for the quickest access. Pro tip: Check the Farquhar Auditorium seating chart ahead of time so you know your entry route and can head straight to your section after a smooth ticket scan.

Venue Navigation

Farquhar Auditorium sits within the University Centre complex, which features elevators and ramps for straightforward access to the auditorium level. Inside, you’ll find a clean, efficient layout with lobby spaces for concessions and gathering before the show or during intermission.

Concession stands operate during many events, and select performances may offer merchandise stands. ATMs are available in the University Centre, and restrooms are conveniently located off the lobby. If you expect to move around the complex — from parking lots to the entrance and back — comfortable footwear is a smart choice.

Pre-Event Planning

Make the most of your visit by arriving early to explore the University Centre’s modern architecture and the landscaped campus scenery. It’s a relaxed setting for meetups with friends, and the lobby offers an easy rendezvous point before you head to your seats.
