Our facilities
Point Trotter Campus
A world-class training facility, our Point Trotter campus houses state-of-the-art applied learning labs and classrooms tailor-made for our Ironworker apprentices.
Located in southeast Calgary, this purpose-built 30,200-square-foot facility offers the equipment required for you to learn everything you need to know about fabrication, steel work and ornamental ironwork.
You'll learn to build structural components, reinforce steel and post-tension tendons, install conveyors and robotic equipment, and perform reconstructive work on existing structures.
The facility also has an operational yard that mimics a construction site, where you'll construct a multi-floor steel structure.
Our Point Trotter campus was made possible thanks to a $5.35 million operating grant from Alberta Advanced Education.

Oki, Âba wathtech, Danit'ada, Tawnshi, Hello.
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.
