The main post-secondary educational institutions in the city of Vancouver include the University of British Columbia (founded in 1908; opened in 1915), the site of the Museum of Anthropology; the Emily Carr Institute of Art and Design (1925); and Vancouver Community College. Simon Fraser University (1963) and the British Columbia Institute of Technology (1964) are in neighboring Burnaby.
