South Campus University Of Alberta

In the 1920s, the U of A Board of Governors purchased 379 acres of south campus land, located about one mile south of North Campus. Running from 60 Avenue to roughly 57 Avenue and also along 122 Street to 115 Street, South Campus also incorporates the lands known as West 240. These lands were bought in 1930s starting from the south of 62 Avenue to 52 Avenue, near the Whitemud Creek Ravine and 122 Street intersection. South Campus hosts some of North America's best agricultural research and teaching infrastructure – Agri-Food Discovery Place (animal metabolism, crop production, dairy production and processing), Medical Isotope and Cyclotron Facility as well as the two best sports facilities - Foote Field and Saville Community Sports Centre. The University of Alberta, its buildings, labs and research stations are primarily located on the traditional territory of Cree, Blackfoot, Metis, Nakota Sioux, Iroquois, Dene, and Ojibway/Saulteaux/Anishinaabe nations; lands now known as part of Treaties 6, 7 and 8 and homeland of the Metis. The University of Alberta acknowledges the First Nations, Metis, Inuit concerns, issues and the importance of land acknowledgements, and sovereignty as well as their historical and contemporary diversities, languages, knowledge systems and culturally appropriate educational offerings.
