Engineering & Operations

Engineering and Operations provides technical design support to the University of Alberta. We participate in the planning and construction of new university buildings and the renovations of existing ones; we are part of a committee that oversees U of A's capital and renewal projects.

We are committed to excellence. We set design and construction standards on campus, and make sure each capital and renewal project meets stakeholder needs, operates efficiently and follows safety codes. Ultimately, we create an environment that is not only pleasing to the eye, but also functional for U of A students, faculty, staff and visitors.
