[4] SAIT's main campus is on 16 Avenue NW, overlooking the downtown core of Calgary and is served by the CTrain light rail system.

SAIT delivers skill-oriented education through nine schools: English language foundations and academic upgrading are offered through the Lamb Learner Success Centre.

Construction began on Heritage Hall on January 18, 1921, five years after the Provincial Institute of Technology and Art (PITA) was formed in Calgary in 1916.

[8] Designed by Alberta provincial architect Richard Palin Blakey and built by J. McDiarmid Company of Winnipeg,[9] the three-storey modern structure's focal point is the central entrance flanked by two large towers designed with the characteristics of Collegiate Gothic[10] architecture, which was prevalent throughout North America at the time.

The federal designation notes the importance of the structure and SAIT as a place in the development of vocational education in Western Canada.

The residence buildings provide visitors with access to amenities during their stay including on-site laundry, 24-hour security, utilities, and shared lounge space.
