The Asian Centre is an academic library located on the Vancouver campus of the University of British Columbia, which primarily houses the collections of the University of British Columbia pertaining to Asian Studies and Asia. The architecture of the Asian Centre is based on a traditional pagoda, and the building was designed by Donald Matsuba at the cost of $1.6 million Canadian Dollars. The building was intended to be a centennial gift funded by the Government of Japan, serving as a symbol of Asian-Canadian and Canada–Japan relations.
