University Innovation Quarter (UIQ) is a landmark destination that will be revitalized to attract some of the city’s greatest talents, researchers, entrepreneurs, startups, and investors. The revitalization will energize UIQ to be a mixed-use innovation district cultivating bright minds on the cutting-edge of advancements, world-solutions, policies, research, and inventions, with prime opportunities for new facilities, lab spaces, advanced manufacturing, accommodations, retail, and residential projects. Ideas and progress will flourish here pushing Calgary to the forefront of innovative pursuits. UIQ currently spans across 76-acres adjacent to the University of Calgary main campus – a top 5 research institution, and has an existing ecosystem of Calgary startup companies and science, technology, and research organizations. Strengthening the connections within this existing ecosystem through thoughtful design will support the acceleration of innovation, cross-collaboration, entrepreneurial thinking, and Calgary’s job growth and economic prosperity.
