The U of C is nearing completion of its largest capital expansion ever. Several new buildings will increase capacity for more students and a host of new teaching and research activities. These major developments, including the Taylor Family Digital Library (TFDL), the U of C downtown campus (opened fall 2010) and the new Energy, Environment and Experiential Learning building, are fulfilling distinct academic strategies and creating progressive learning environments.
Library
MacKimmie library was the first library to open at the University of Calgary in 1966.
