🛋️ Interim Welcome Centre lounge now open
Come on in! The Interim Welcome Centre lounge, located on the ground floor of the Johnson-Cobbe Energy Centre, is a place to study, catch up and feel at home. Other features, including an info desk, will open in the coming months. Please leave the furniture where it is.
What’s a Welcome Centre? A central greeting point on campus and a place for students to ask questions and connect with support, services and information.
Why is it interim? A permanent Welcome Centre is part of the design for the new Taylor Family Campus Centre. This temporary location will support a smooth transition when the new building opens.

SAIT is located on the traditional territories of the Niitsitapi (Blackfoot) and the people of Treaty 7 which includes the Siksika, the Piikani, the Kainai, the Tsuut’ina and the Îyârhe Nakoda of Bearspaw, Chiniki and Goodstoney.
We are situated in an area the Blackfoot tribes traditionally called Moh’kinsstis, where the Bow River meets the Elbow River. We now call it the city of Calgary, which is also home to the Métis Nation of Alberta.
