The location would be in the old westwood garage location. So within walking distance to the new station.

I suspect that the Feds will antiup as well for this.

And Yes SIAT has a new building started, new SAIT Centre, will house the fitness facilities. Construction is underway including a new utility tunnel.

Nait needs a new fitness centre as well. The pool I believe is now closed. Cost up upgrading it was to much. I did an audit of the building about 5 years ago and it was not in good shape.

Go ahead make me feel old I went to NAIT before the fitness centre was built.

I think a new NAIT rec center on the west side of the LRT tracks would be nice, it could serve the school and the community.

DND should sell the Armoury to NAIT and that could be retrofitted into their new fitness centre.

Go ahead make me feel old I went to NAIT before the fitness centre was built.

I remember when it was built. My current age, I have been doing evaluations on buildings I was helping build when they were new. That makes me feel old. about 9 years back I sat on a patio downtown with my father. He commented that they were tearing down buildings he helped design. Now I feel that way. And my Summer Coop student could be my Granddaughter.

Good spot for the new "Skills" building?

 

[IceCreamMan]

You got it... and the prime consultant RFP is now out for this one.

 

[MacLac]

Gotta believe this will be the largest post-secondary building in the province. With the way the province is pushing "trades" now....look out!

Yup! This is where she’ll be!

 

[Edmcowboy11]

Too bad this building wasn't going to be further north near the other LRT station

 

[MacLac]

To put this in perspective - MacEwan's new School of Business will be "35,000 sq metres on 7 floors. NAIT's new ASC will be "55,000 sq metres" on unknown number of floors. This thing is gonna be massive!!

How many meet and greets / shake hands and kiss babies type of photo ops are we gonna have before we break ground?

EDIT**: ".....fully operational by 2029." This would indicate construction needs to start next year at the latest.
