Absolutely. The slope of the entire dog park is directed toward the storm water pond as well.

Campus Centre Redevelopment project
SAIT is in the initial phase of a multi-year project to redevelop Campus Centre. Effective Aug. 1 2022, the building is partially closed for construction activities.

For now it is a demolish and wait situation. They are building a tent in the meantime.
I fully expect the tent to still exist in 20 years.

What? Why 20 years?

I don’t know, they have a boatload of money to spend now so hopefully it goes forward.Campus Centre Redevelopment project

Hopefully the new building offers a similar patio to the old Gateway one. It was by far the best outdoor patio in the city. Student appropriate pricing for drinks, sun all afternoon and spectacular views of downtown.

I wasn't a student at SAIT but I liked the Gateway as a live music venue. It was perfect for a certain size of live show... room for a standing crowd but also seating at the back still facing the stage if you wanted it. Better than, for example, the King Eddie or the Palomino, or Broken City. Of course the easy LRT accessibility after a few drinks didn't hurt. Basically it was like Dickens but with a nice view. Anyway hopefully we get something like that back.

Unless I missed the announcement they have the money from SAITSA (which has yet to come to an agreement with SAIT) and that’s it. Funding information and more than a vague vision for the new building is decidedly absent.
Whatever led them to move forward with demolition without commitment it must of been bad.

Building must have been in rough shape. It was super old when I went there 20 years ago, definitely time for an update. Usually you would expect a proper plan in place to move forward before demolition though.
Yeah, there must have been some issues with the building. It's been partially closed since August, and to go ahead and demo it before having a new plan, makes it seem the case.

Not sure where this would even fit but there's an open house coming up for landfill reclamation at the private Ecco site down near Quarry Park...

Wonder what the timeline is on this. Seems like a fair amount of work ahead.

Can you build on landfill sites? Maybe a solar farm or a park/golfcourse?
