more than just a building

The Ironworks building, dating back to 1921, is a vibrant multi-purpose facility providing a range of services to the artistic and cultural community of Vancouver. Our heritage studios are used as film, television and photography locations as well as a unique performance and events venue.

Located east of Gastown, the historic building is near Vancouver's original intersection. This prime urban location features large, open spaces, fir beams and columns, wood-plank floors and 16-foot ceilings. Original remains of old ironworks left behind in the warehouse are a nostalgic reminder of the build quality and character of the 1880's.

Dozens of tv series and feature films have featured the Ironworks over the years and although we’d love to name drop, all we can say is that a lot of internationally recognised faces have stepped foot in our building and it has been incredible to watch how the space has been used. 

We see the Ironworks as a space to collaborate with creatives to enable them to work without limitations and ultimately, a space for those creatives to then flourish. 

Our studios and event spaces are suitable for groups large and small, and may be booked for film, video and TV productions, music and theatrical performances, photography, casting, rehearsals, arts classes, lecture and more. Please get in touch to find out more.
