Mount Royal University is one of Canada’s leading undergraduate post-secondary institutions. The Conservatory programs have been relocated from the main Lincoln Park Campus building to the new facility .
The $70M project consists of conservatory facilities and Taylor Centre for Performing Arts — an 800 seat music hall.
The remainder of the program area consists of ensemble, instructional spaces, studios, classrooms, rehearsal spaces, instructor support and administration space, recording studios, lobby, front of house, support, and back-of-house operations. A covered parking area is also planned for this site.
This is the first construction undertaken since Mount Royal‘s transition from a College to a University and is the flagship of the campus. SAHURI worked in close association with Pfeiffer Partners Architecture on this project.
On September 12, 2018 this project was granted LEED Gold Certification by the Canada Green Building Council (CaGBC Project No. 13561).
The Mount Royal University Conservatory and Taylor Centre for Performing Arts was awarded the 2016 Calgary Award for Accessibility.
