The University of Calgary’s main campus is set amidst a beautiful, 123-hectare park-like setting in northwest Calgary. It features more than 20 academic buildings, a modern student centre, a variety of single and family residence facilities, a museum, a large concert hall, two child care centres and the finest combined athletic facilities in Canada—including the country’s only covered speed-skating oval.
Just south of the Main Campus, the Foothills campus is home to the university’s health and medical research facilities, including the Foothills Medical and Tom Baker Cancer Centres, the Heritage Medical Research Building (HMRB), Health Research Innovation Centre (HRIC), Health Sciences Centre (HSC) and the Teaching, Research and Wellness (TRW) building.
This collection of premier research facilities, adjacent to the Main Campus, supports the development of a province-wide culture of innovation while also increasing Alberta and Canada’s capacity for technology commercialization.
The new campus in Calgary’s downtown core will house some of the University of Calgary’s continuing education programs, its executive and professional development programs, the School of Public Policy and other initiatives where students will benefit from being downtown.
About 20 minutes away from the Main Campus, the Spy Hill Campus is home to the new Faculty of Veterinary Medicine’s Clinical Skills Building, grazing land and other animal housing. The site is also home to the High Density Library (HDL) which houses about 60 percent of the university’s current book and journal collection as well as much of its archival holdings.
The University of Calgary is planning to create a university town in phases over the next 30 years to provide services and amenities for students from rural Alberta, neighbouring provinces and the international community. Situated on 74 hectares of land immediately west of the Main Campus, the site offers spectacular views overlooking the Bow River Valley and the Rocky Mountains.
The University of Calgary’s campus in Doha, Qatar, has been offering a nursing degree program to residents since the fall of 2007.
