The Warehouse Studio is a multi-studio recording facilty, owned by Canadian musician Bryan Addams and located in Vancouver, British Columbia, in Canada. The building in which its placed in used to serve as a warehouse building for the Pilkington Glass Company (hence the name 'Warehouse Studios'). The facility consists of three small studios, and a large studio.
The warehouse building is the oldest brick building in Vancouver, built in 1886 by Oppenheimer Brothers as the city's first wholesale grocery business. It also served as Vancouver's first city hall, jail and morgue, after the Great Vancouver Fire in the same year. The building was restored in 1988, after almost being flattened and turned into a parking lot. Ten years later, in 1998, The Warehouse Studio received the City of Vancouver Heritage Award for "outsdtanding restoration of a historic building", just one year after The Warehouse Studio opened.
List of the most famous artists who played in this studio includes AC/DC, Biffy Clyro, Metallica, Billy Talent, Shakira, R.E.M., and more.

Studio 2 is the largest of the studios, with a large live room and a roomy control room, three isolation booths, a lounge area, full kitchen and dining area and a fire escape patio. The studio houses a Neve A6630, one oout of three such boards, originally commissioned by producer George Martin and engineer Geoff Emerick in 1977 for Air Studios in London. It then went to Atlantic Studios in New York City, before making its way to The Warehouse Studio in 1991.
Studio 3
Studio 3 has spacious control room, with a small overdub room. Originally having a large SSL 9080J series console, it was renovated in 2013, and now houses a digital Avid S6 board. It also has a lounge, a kitchen and a dining area. It's intended for overdubbing aswell as mixing.
