Elevator update
SAIT is home to legacy buildings with aging elevator infrastructure across campus. We are actively working to address both modernization and maintenance, and understand frustration goes up when elevators and escalators go down.
Before heading out to campus, you can check the status of outages on the Facilities Services and Maintenance page and through the SAITALERT app.
Construction update
Between Saturday, March 2 and Monday, April 8, the City of Calgary will be closing 10 Street between Sait Way NW and just north of 5 Avenue NW for construction. 10 Street NW will be open between 16 Avenue NW and Sait Way NW, allowing for access in and out of SAIT.

The elevator in P6 is out of order and awaiting new parts. Should you need it, accessible parking is still available in surface lots P3, P5 and P8.
