This is my point, exactly. Not only do students and staff have to walk around the armoury, but there is no proper entrance to NAIT, either. Seems like the location was poorly chosen, imo.
If you download the PDF linked on that website, it appears to be saying that they have purchased the land that the armoury is currently on and that land will become a plaza which is the "public face" of campus. Not sure if they actually bought the land or if that is just a pipe dream for them...This is my point, exactly.

Even the new campus development master plan seems to ignore the armoury. Either they know something the public (i.e. me) doesn't or they designed it with blinders on.
Maybe in time when the full extension if open. Frankly, what is in operation is underwhelming. They said it was a 300m extension, which it is, but that is to the north end of the platform so 100m of the extension includes the station.
I assume you're suggesting they run the Metro Line to the southern terminus of the Capital Line? They don't want to run trains more frequently than 5 minutes through University Ave. So until they do something about that, not likely.
Which is prob how far any expansion past Blatchford is at this point at minimum.
And outside of that, it basically serves Kingsway, and not even that well. It's such a weird stub line that feels a bit pointless right now. In a lot of cases, even if you're near the Capital or Valley Line, it's quicker to transfer to a bus to get to the places the Metro Line exclusively serves via rail.
