What else you should know
- SAIT’s Interim Welcome Centre is opening in the Johnson-Cobbe Energy Centre, where it'll live until its permanent home in the Taylor Family Campus Centre is ready. Prep work is underway — several table/chair groups on the main floor have been removed to allow for the installation of walls, furniture and AV over the next few months.
SAIT’s campus is home to legacy buildings and, like other post-secondary institutions in the city, performs water sampling to monitor its suitability for drinking. Recent testing results indicate a handful of labs and bottle refill stations in the Senator Burns, Heritage Hall and E.H. Crandell buildings have levels of some inorganic substances above recommended guidelines.
Corrective action has been taken, including signage in affected spaces with directions for users, where appropriate. Please follow any directions provided, and remember that bathroom sinks are intended for hand hygiene purposes only.
