We're building a destination for science like no other
Alberta's growth is driven by science and entrepreneurship, yet Canada faces a STEM talent shortage. Even with record-high enrollment at UCalgary, there aren't enough seats available to meet the country's growing needs for work-ready grads.
We have a solution
We’re investing in new facilities that will be a hub for developing tomorrow’s leaders, creating space for 2,000 more STEM students while driving cutting-edge research and strengthening connections with industry to accelerate discovery and real-world impact.

HELP BUILD THE FUTURE OF SCIENCE IN CALGARY
The University of Calgary is building a $450 million Science District to tackle today's most pressing challenges. With $350 million already committed by the Government of Alberta and the university, we invite donors and industry partners to help complete the final $100 million and bring this vision to life.
Invest in STEM
“The future of science is being shaped at UCalgary. By building an iconic space, our brightest minds will make breakthrough after breakthrough.”
DR. KRISTIN BAETZ, PHD | DEAN, FACULTY OF SCIENCE, UNIVERSITY OF CALGARY
The University of Calgary, located in the heart of Southern Alberta, both acknowledges and pays tribute to the traditional territories of the peoples of Treaty 7, which include the Blackfoot Confederacy (comprised of the Siksika, the Piikani, and the Kainai First Nations), the Tsuut’ina First Nation, and the Stoney Nakoda (including Chiniki, Bearspaw, and Goodstoney First Nations). The city of Calgary is also home to the Métis Nation within Alberta (including Nose Hill Métis District 5 and Elbow Métis District 6).
The University of Calgary is situated on land Northwest of where the Bow River meets the Elbow River, a site traditionally known as Moh’kins’tsis to the Blackfoot, Wîchîspa to the Stoney Nakoda, and Guts’ists’i to the Tsuut’ina. On this land and in this place we strive to learn together, walk together, and grow together “in a good way.”
