Peter Lougheed Hall
The residence in Peter Lougheed Hall will provide pleasant interior design including welcoming entrances, natural light and functional social spaces for residents; integrating them with active outdoor spaces for the wider university community. The new 7,925 square metre residence will anchor and further develop East Campus Village into an inviting, walkable, student focused and vibrant neighbourhood connecting the campus to adjoining amenities.

The proposed design includes 143 bed spaces in one and two bedroom configurations, common areas including a large inspirational space with video conferencing capabilities, for social gatherings, lectures and seminars. Also included are outdoor amenity space, large and flexible dining hall, fitness and recreation rooms, and a conference room.

The east U of A campus seems to be headed towards a kind of quiet dignity befitting the Garneau district.

@archited I have concerns about the number of older houses that made way for these buildings, but recognize not all of them were worth keeping, and that those of particular historical interest were moved. I am happy at how many mature elms they were able to keep, though.

Wow, had no idea that courtyard was hidden behind the walls. Loving the brick treatment and planters.

That'd be some pretty sweet digs to live in while attending the university.

@Daveography being inside this building for the opening was incredible. Such a gorgeous building. The view from the second floor laundry room was even amazing, tones of natural light and a great warm environment. I'm excited to see it filled with students come September.

The interior courtyard walls look pretty value-engineered from the renders, but otherwise sounds like it turned out pretty great.

A south-facing inner courtyard defines this new student residence, aiming to help create a sense of community in this corner of the University of Alberta campus.

“They didn’t overbuild that building,” said Thorne, adding they could have packed more students in but would have sacrificed a lovely, livable and welcoming design. “It’s a large building that doesn’t feel large.”

This new student residence anchors the University’s East Campus Village and sits at 11011 Saskatchewan Drive. It opened this fall to students.

“It follows a European courtyard model … and has excellent street presence,” said Spearey.
