💧 Water quality update: E.H. Crandell, Senator Burns and Heritage Hall
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.

📚 Work respectfully in the library
It's peak time for studying and wrapping up final projects!
Here are a few reminders for working in the Reg Erhardt Library:
- The library is a shared study space, meant for group and individual work.
- The space is not meant as a place to gather with friends, but there are other student spaces on campus where you can hang out, like the nearby Irene Lewis Atrium.
- The library can host small groups at tables (four people max) and computer workstations (two people max). If you have a group larger than four, please book a study room.
- No food is allowed in the library.
Anyone breaking these rules will be asked to leave for the day.
If you see someone using the library inappropriately, you can contact someone on the library team discreetly, in real time, through online chat.

Further testing following the City of Calgary’s intensive water testing protocols has revealed elevated inorganic substances in 10 point-of-use locations out of the 106 locations tested.
Eight of these points of use locations are in the Senator Burns building, one in the Thomas Riley building and one at the Mayland Heights campus. Testing was completed on all drinking fountains, water bottle filling stations, office kitchen sinks and commercial kitchens in legacy buildings on campus.
