Culture of Care

At the University of Alberta, our commitment to safety isn't just a box to check — it's a fundamental principle that lives in every initiative, big or small, within our university community and the strategic plans that guide us. Whether we’re shaping the future through innovative research, or nurturing the growth of our students, faculty and staff, our Culture of Care aims to create an environment where everyone feels physically, psychologically and culturally safe.

Infrastructure Projects

The university invests in the effective and responsible development of our campus infrastructure — building campuses that reflect our excellence in academics, research and teaching.

From small renovations or sustainability projects, to building a large new facility from the ground up, our projects align with the U of A's vision, mission and mandate and are guided by the university's Long Range Development Plan and Integrated Asset Management Strategy.
