The Arts Building

Turning of the Sod for Arts Building

The Arts Building was officially opened on October 6, 1915, by Alberta’s first Lieutenant Governor, G.H.V. Bulyea. Below the upper window on the south façade of this neo-classical building is a sundial on which is inscribed, “I Count Only the Sunny Hours.” Once the Arts Building was fully operational, it contained lecture rooms, laboratories, administration offices, and a convocation hall.
