Campus Spaces

Bow Valley College’s South Campus, opened in 2013, is a key educational hub in downtown Calgary. It’s built for collaboration, with open study areas, tech-enabled classrooms, and shared spaces for students from multiple institutions.

The $160 million South Campus project was funded by the Government of Alberta, the City of Calgary, Bow Valley College, and its partners. It’s located at the gateway to East Village in downtown Calgary.

The South Campus is LEED Silver certified, featuring 50 classrooms, a fourth-floor patio with rooftop gardens, student services, and easy access via the CTrain. Sustainable features include water-efficient plumbing, energy optimization, and green landscaping with drought-tolerant plants. A +15/30 connects the North and South campuses.
