The University of Calgary’s School of Architecture, Planning and Landscape will be moving into an underutilized office tower across from UCalgary’s downtown campus in 2026. The building will include design studios, research spaces, and a robotic fabrication workshop. It will also include facilities to host public lectures and city building events. “In the same way that a medical school is located in a hospital, a design school needs to be downtown, [and] not just located downtown but integrated into the workings of downtown,” said UCalgary Dean of the School of Architecture, Planning and Landscape John Brown. This relocation project is funded with $9M from the City of Calgary’s Downtown Post-Secondary Institution Incentive Program.
