Appears to be several films copied one after the other (scenes silent, interviews with sound). Features the development and construction of SFU from signing official papers and architectural models of campus through to breaking ground, construction, student registration and opening ceremonies. Interviews with key figures (Gordon Shrum, Patrick McTaggart-Cowan, Ron Baker, etc.) throughout as construction progresses. Includes clips of Gaglardi Way paving and brief interview with Highways Minister Gaglardi himself (same interview as in "Gaglardi Way: The Road to the Top"), as well as interview with workers polishing the jade boulder. Several interviewers (presumably all CBC?), including one identifying himself as "Ken Johnson, CBC News, on Burnaby Mountain." No opening or closing credits, apart from SFU's IMC (Instructional Media Centre) noted at start.
