University of Calgary

The University of Calgary (a k.a. U of C) is a public research university located in Calgary, Canada. The main campus is located in the northwest quartile of the city near the Bow River, and a subsidiary south campus is located in the city centre.

In July 1957, the University of Alberta endorsed a "$1 Lease" with the City of Calgary for 121 hectares of 300 acres of land. In 1958, the University of Alberta renamed the branch campus to the "University of Alberta in Calgary," and unmasked the plans for new permanent facilities on the leased land. The new campus started its 1^st permanent facilities in October 1960, the Arts and Education Building and the Science and Engineering Building.

In May 1965, the satellite campus was authorized academic and financial autonomy from the "University of Alberta". In the next year, in April 1966, the institution was officially made into an independent university, with the acceptance of the Universities Act by the Legislative Assembly of Alberta. The university was shaped on the American state university (more like the University of Alberta), with prominence in extension work and applied research.

In the early 20^thcentury, professional education extended beyond theology, law, and medicine. Graduate training was designed on the German-inspired American model of esoteric course work, and the completion of a research thesis was initiated.

In 2007, the University of Calgary, in association with the City of Calgary, started work on the West Campus Development Project through the West Campus Development Trust. The priority of the trust is to manage the transformation of previously unutilized University lands, with the ultimate aim to fabricate financial gain on investment for the university's academic mission. Once completed, University District will be a mixed-use, 200+ acre community consisting of residential, office, retail, and park layouts.
