VCC–Clark station's original plans called for it to be located underground below Broadway to the south of Vancouver Community College, but the City of Vancouver wanted the line to run to the north through an emerging technology zone on the False Creek Flats.
The station was originally planned to open with the original portion of the Millennium Line in 2002, but the construction was delayed because of property issues as the station is located in a former railyard.[2] Service at the station was slated to begin in the fourth quarter of 2005, but testing and commissioning of the station and related facilities continued during that time frame, with trial running of trains starting in mid-November that year. The station, designed by the architecture firms Francl Architecture and Stantec Architecture, officially opened in 2006.[3][4] A limited-stop bus route, the 84, connects VCC–Clark to UBC to relieve the 99 B-Line bus route and the trolley buses on Broadway.
Plans originally called for the Millennium Line to extend west along the Broadway corridor from VCC–Clark station to Granville Street and 10th Avenue with three additional stations. In 2006, it was revealed that this 5-kilometre (3.1 mi) extension would be placed on hold while priority was given to the Canada Line and Evergreen Extension.[5] In 2018, a 5.7-kilometre (3.5 mi) extension west to Arbutus Street was approved with an estimated completion date of 2026.[6][7]
