The University of Calgary has officially opened Mathison Hall at the Haskayne School of Business. The four-storey 10,000-square-metre facility, attached to the school’s existing Scurfield Hall building, boasts new spaces for study, and aims to achieve LEED platinum certification.

The vision behind the project was led by architects, Gibbs Gage and Diamond Schmidt. The new building features twelve technology-enhanced classrooms, which includes two high-tech classroom, an 80-person open-concept round room for gatherings, a graduate student floor, event facilities, and collision spaces.

“At the University of Calgary, we say we’re a place to Start Something,” says University of Calgary President Ed McCauley. “With the official opening of Mathison Hall, we are going to help start hundreds and thousands of careers ? ones that will make Canada’s most enterprising city even more so, propelled by the entrepreneurial thinking that runs through the university’s DNA. Through Mathison Hall, we are further committing to creating a place where business students will learn and thrive, and in turn, help Calgary’s economy continue to grow.”
