Schulich School of Engineering

Dr. M. Elizabeth Cannon, the former head of the geomatics engineering department, assumed the position of dean on July 1, 2006.

Dr. Cannon was appointed to be the president of the University of Calgary on 1 July 2010 and her previous position as dean is now held by Dr. Bill Rosehart.

In 1993, the School started an internship program with Dr. Michael Ward, former civil department head and the vice-president of research of the University, as the founding director.

The Schulich School of Engineering is located in the northern section of the University of Calgary campus in a complex that consists of four main buildings.

Officially opened to the public in November 2016 (it had been used for classes and labs since September 2016), the CNRL complex is a $174 million building meant to increase enrollment capacity in the engineering department by 400 seats and to provide new classroom and lecture hall facilities.

The civil engineering laboratory is located in a cavernous space in the south-westernmost block of the main complex.

It is the main experimental space for the civil engineering faculty (along with the bay in CCIT) and can supports many separate endeavors at one time.

During the fall and winter semesters, especially at 12:00 PM, the lounge is normally a hive of activity, as a vast majority of students come by to socialize and eat.

The ground level of ICT is arranged as a food court themed meeting area, frequented by many faculties.

Commercial services such as Family Mart, Good Earth Cafe and Apex Credit Union occupy the bottom floor.

Unlike the rest of the engineering faculty, it is not physically connected but in fact resides in a separate building across 32nd Ave NW in the university's research park.

Though primarily used by the Faculty of Science, the EEEL building hosts a few lab facilities and the Dean's Office for the engineering department.

Due to construction of the CNRL complex, the Dean's Office was moved to the fourth floor of the EEEL building.
