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.
Learn about the impacted areas as well as protective and corrective actions being taken.

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.
