Our facilities
Gene Haas Centre
With the support of a game-changing $1 million USD from the Gene Haas Foundation intended to revolutionize applied education in Alberta, we're committed to elevating training excellence in manufacturing and automation, both now and for years to come.
The project-based labs in the Gene Haas Centre contain our state-of-the-art, industry-standard, computer-numerical-control machining equipment. These critical machines aid our machinist apprentices, pre-employment and technology students in learning:
- blueprint interpretation
- computer aided design and manufacturing
- process planning
- design validation
- precision measurement
- inspection of parts through coordinated measuring machine
- metallurgy
- heat treatment.
As a student, you'll work with products made from metals, plastics, rubber textiles, fiberglass, and space-age alloys.
Our latest lab expansion increased the number of machines by almost 50%, meaning you get even more hands-on time.

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.
