Construction on Campus
Olds College’s New Buildings are Underway Fostering high-tech, innovative learning and working environments, three new facilities — the Ag Tech Learning Hub, Animal Health Education Centre and Farm Shop — are underway at Olds College. These state-of-the-art buildings will expand from existing structures on campus and support new technology programming, smart ag applied research, work-integrated learning and future growth at Olds College.
“The very essence of this building is celebration, and we can’t wait to experience the excitement and energy that will flow in and through this exciting learning space.” Christine Chalaturnyk, Associate Dean of Werklund School of Agriculture Technology
Ag Tech Learning Hub The Ag Tech Learning Hub is being redeveloped from the James Murray Building. This new building — opening September 2022 — will be the home to the new Ag Tech programming and will house the Werklund School of Agriculture Technology along with open concept learning spaces, offices and classrooms. The Ag Tech Learning Hub will enhance the physical learning environments for students by including adaptable space for current and future technology integration. The Ag Tech Learning Hub will be 3,000 square metres of learning space — including a huge lecture space, large lab spaces, collaboration and group areas for students to use, as well as a student commons space right in the very center. Olds College students will be greatly impacted by these innovative spaces for years to come. “The Ag Tech Learning Hub is going to be a very exciting and interactive space for teaching and learning,” Christine Chalaturnyk, Associate Dean of Werklund School of Agriculture Technology expresses. “This innovative building will be open, inviting and transparent where people will see all the exciting teaching and learning that happens in our courses.”
