We are a community of thinkers, innovators and industry leaders. Rooted in Calgary and driven by a desire to create an impact in our community, SAIT is a place where purpose meets possibility. With cutting-edge programs, expert instructors, and work-integrated learning opportunities, we promise the confidence to make it real. In 1916, our doors opened in Calgary, Alberta, Canada with 11 students and a mandate to train veterans returning from the First World War. Over the years, we’ve matched community needs — as a hospital during the Spanish Flu pandemic and as a Royal Canadian Air Force Wireless Training School during the Second World War. Fast forward to today and SAIT’s action-based learning, solution-focused research and industry partnerships are helping to shape the next generation of inventors, entrepreneurs and pioneers. Whether you're looking to upskill or change careers, we enable lifetime learning through relevant, customized education and enhance the global competitiveness of our students and region.

To learn about architecture, engineering and construction in the classroom is one thing.
To gaze up at sleek skyscrapers, marvel in awe of an ancient temple or experience the quiet wonder of a minimalist-style museum tucked away in nature is quite another. 🏯
Students from SAIT's Architectural Technologies, Civil Engineering Technology and Bachelor of Science Construction Project Management programs spent 12 days exploring Tokyo, Osaka and Naoshima Island, learning firsthand how Japanese culture, innovation and infrastructure shape the built environment.
The trip brought classroom concepts to life and inspired students to think more broadly about the future of design, construction and sustainable communities.
Best of all, they gained global perspectives and industry insights that will shape their careers. Pretty solid souvenirs, we’d say. 🧳
“I was amazed by how traditional architecture, historic temples and cultural traditions could exist alongside modern buildings and technology. It showed me that moving forward doesn't necessarily mean leaving the past behind,” says Architectural Technologies student Elissa Drayton.
A highlight of the trip was participation in the Tokyo Architecture Festival, where students attended exhibitions, toured notable buildings, visited an architectural firm and received a customized tour at the impressive Embassy of Canada in Tokyo. They witnessed how thoughtful design and infrastructure work together to create vibrant, connected and people-focused communities.
“One of my biggest takeaways was seeing how thoughtfully Japan uses space, materials and movement,” says Bachelor of Science Construction Project Management student Emmett Geraldes.
“Even in crowded places, it rarely felt chaotic because everything seemed designed for how people actually use the space.”
