Hunter Student Commons Main Floor

Support creates success

Students, faculty and staff need the right spaces to create the ideal conditions for learning. Classrooms designed to support today’s learners. Informal places to connect, collaborate and create. Rooms to grow with the big dreams of our entrepreneurs-in-the-making. 

The Hunter Student Commons would not have been possible without support from the Government of Alberta, the Hunter Family Foundation and our community.  

Honouring the land

The University of Calgary is committed to our collective journey of transformation, guided by our Indigenous Strategy, ii' taa'poh'to'p. As part of our commitment to truth and reconciliation, UCalgary consulted Elders and landscape architects when creating the university’s landscape plan.
