Southern Alberta Institute of Technology (SAIT)

In 1916, our doors opened in Calgary, Alberta, Canada with 11 students and a mandate to train veterans returning from the First World War. Over the years, we’ve matched community needs — as a hospital during the Spanish Flu pandemic and as a Royal Canadian Air Force Wireless Training School during the Second World War.

Fast forward to today and SAIT’s action-based learning, solution-focused research and industry partnerships are helping to shape the next generation of inventors, entrepreneurs and pioneers.

One of Canada's top applied-research colleges, SAIT has 50,000 square feet of specialized research labs and facilities and full-time research staff who are solely dedicated to providing the services organizations need to take their products from concept to prototype.
