Campuses
In its early years, MacEwan operated out of a number of small store-front-style campuses. The facilities included Old Scona School (10523 - 84 Avenue), the Workmen's Compensation building (10048 - 101A Avenue), and the former Dominion Store in Cromdale (8020 - 118 Avenue), with offices and administration located in the Canada Trust building (10150 - 100 Street). In 1988, Don Getty’s provincial government committed $100 million for the construction of the City Centre Campus which, at the time, was Alberta Advanced Education and Technology's largest single capital project in its history.
As of 2011, MacEwan University has four campuses. City Centre Campus is the largest of the four campuses, currently spanning five city blocks in downtown Edmonton. The Alberta College Campus (ACC) is also located downtown. South Campus is located in the south side neighbourhood of Mill Woods, and the Centre for the Arts and Communications is located on the west end of the city in West Jasper Place.
In September 2009, MacEwan University's Board of Governors approved a plan for a single sustainable campus that will see operations of campuses consolidated onto City Centre Campus in downtown Edmonton. The first step of the Single Sustainable Campus Plan was taken with the opening of the University Service Centre in April 2011. Construction for the new Centre for the Arts and Culture is expected to begin in 2013 on the west end of the City Centre site and to be open by 2015.
