SAPL Spotlight Week

Join us for virtual and in-person experiences - see the facilities, hear from faculty members, and get a glimpse of the student experience as they prepare for the Year End Show.

The School of Architecture, Planning and Landscape offers a distinctly different design school experience focusing on interdisciplinary design-based philosophy, entrepreneurship, and working with industry partners. Students build, prototype, and collaborate to address growing challenges in the built environment, creating safe neighbourhoods, interactive public spaces, green areas, and accessible transportation.

Join us during Spotlight Week to learn more about the professional programs, see the SAPL facilities, and meet the Recruitment + Admissions team for on-the-spot advising sessions. To get started, follow SAPL on Instagram (@ucalgarysapl) for virtual tours, behind the scenes of how students prepare for final reviews, and a glimpse of the Year End Show!
