With this new building in a downtown location, I could see MacEwan moving ahead of the U of A over the next few years particularly with respect to business education.

The U of A's downtown location still seems like an empty shell, a place for odds and ends or overflow from their main campus. They have not really committed to downtown in any significant way.

To be fair, the downtown U of A campus was doing well until COVID hit. Although these days, a pandemic from 4 years ago shouldn't be an excuse anymore.

Do you know what MacEwan can really do that the U of A can't (or refuses to) do?

Open a School of Architecture.
I'm serious.

I think it's fine for U of A not to have a strong presence downtown. They're already the anchors for Garneau/Strathcona, and under their current budget situation a downtown expansion would be an overextension. I just wish they weren't keeping a whole block of Jasper mostly empty...
