The Canadian Natural Resources Limited Engineering Complex is an infill expansion of the Schulich School of Engineering at the University of Calgary. The design integrates over 4500 students, faculty and staff in new and modernized space within the existing campus. The goal was to improve the teaching, research, administrative and support spaces as well as to upgrade public circulation and to provide the school with a centralized social hub.

The phased, seven-year-long project took place with the existing facilities fully occupied. Many of the servicing elements within the design are exposed and celebrated such that they become central elements of the building aesthetic and create a didactic learning tool for students. Significant portions of the old precast cladding have been internalized to become a major archeological element within the new atrium.

To allow maximum flexibility for curriculum changes in the future, which will extend the life of the building, the servicing for the new spaces has been carefully arranged to allow numerous room configurations. The labs were moved to the upper floors so that their ducted path to the roof and penthouse were shorter.
