From Island Neighbours to Lifelong Partners
Lifelong Partners
Opus opened on Granville Island in 1978—just steps from ECU’s former home. Over the years, we’ve grown alongside the university, serving thousands of students who’ve come through our doors, many of whom are now professional artists, educators, and innovators.
Faculty + Class Supply List Support
Simplifying Supplies For Classes
Opus works closely with ECU faculty to prepare pre-assembled materials lists and kits. Professors submit their supply lists, and we take care of the rest—making it easy for students to get what they need, in-store or online.
