?The team at Stantec, Populous, and S2 Architecture offer un-paralleled expertise in not only the building?s design, but how it will interact and integrate with the surrounding community and Stampede Park. After years of planning, it is very exciting to bring this team on board to realize our vision,? said Dana Peers, President & Chairman of the Board of the Calgary Stampede.
