Designed to be a high-performance net-zero carbon building, the MacKimmie Complex comprises a fully renovated tower, block, and a brand-new link that connects the two buildings by an atrium, surrounded by a redesigned outdoor gathering space. The multi-year, multi-phase project will enhance pedagogical and administrative environments, accommodate growth, and strengthen the sense of place and community in the heart of the University of Calgary’s main campus.
The building enhances modern-day learning in a way that goes beyond technology and programming. The building skin makes its energy-modeling systems tactile, or visible to the eye, to make climate change conversations a permanent fixture in life on campus. Two towers 27m high and 30 floors, dedicated to office and luxury apartments.
