Vancouver: SFU arts centre gets $4m boost
North Vancouver businessman and philanthropist Djavad Mowafaghian has donated $4 million to Simon Fraser University’s new contemporary arts campus at the former Woodward’s site in the Downtown Estside.
When the campus opens next month it will have the 350-seat Djavad Mowafaghian Cinema and the Djavad Mowafaghian World Art Centre.
Mowafaghian made his fortune as a developer in Iran before he moved to Vancouver in 1987. His foundation has supported many projects in B.C. and around the world, including B.C. Children’s Hospital.
