Crease Clinic - Riverview (Coquitlam)

 abandoned / shut down, movie / film / TV location

This building on the grounds of the Riverview Hospital is no longer used for patient care. These days it is mostly abandoned, but frequently used as a shooting location for various movies and TV shows.

Originally opened in 1934 as a treatment centre for First World War veterans, the building underwent an expansion in 1945 and reopened in 1949 under a new name and motive – the Crease Clinic of Psychological Medicine.

When a series of different legislations passed, the need for the Crease Clinic dwindled and it closed in 1992. Today, the Crease Clinic location is used almost exclusively for filming. he Crease Clinic has starred in several TV shows, such as The 100, Psych, The Flash, Arrow, Supernatural, iZombie, The Magicians, Fringe, The X-Files, DC’s Legends of Tomorrow and Stargate SG-1. It’s also played a role in many movies, including Deadpool, Romeo Must Die, The Butterfly Effect, Watchmen and A Christmas Story 2.
