MacEwan University - Allard Hall

MacEwan University offers a unique combination of high-tech academic and cultural functions. With its multiple theatres and galleries, Allard Hall is an inspiring, educational community arts and cultural hub that reflects the urban center of Edmonton’s thriving arts and music scene. The building’s spectacular multi-story atrium—crossed by dramatically angled pedestrian bridges, linking all five floors from the ground to the top where natural light pours in via clerestory also functions as a grand lobby for event intermissions, receptions, and art installations. Its striking allure is augmented by skylights that leverage Alberta’s intense, low-bearing sun, painting the space with natural daylight throughout the year.
