Student-centric Classrooms
Considerable thought was put into the design of Mathison Hall’s 12 new classrooms with student engagement at the forefront. Two classrooms are pod-style theatres (shown on the left), which provide opportunity for classroom group work. Another two classrooms are high-tech, boasting 50-inch TV screens at every single table. Students can leverage these technologies to collaborate, allowing for enhanced group work and more dynamic presentations. All classrooms are “future-proofed” with the latest technology such as built-in audio and video capabilities – making video conferencing with notable guest speakers from around the world an effortless possibility.
Unique spaces
Mathison Hall was designed to be an inclusive and welcoming home for the Haskayne community. It includes the Viewpoint Circle for Dialogue, an 84-person room that will bring people together for important discussions, lessons and gathering. The room has ventilation to allow for Indigenous smudging ceremonies and was designed to be transparent, flexible and open for many uses. Students can also find reprieve next to the warm fireplace on the second floor or catch up with classmates on the social staircase between courses.
Collision spaces
Mathison Hall offers ample spaces for our students to work, socialize and meet. From 24 syndicate rooms and 11 meeting rooms for group work, to our graduate and undergraduate student lounges for recharging, to our CPA Alberta Commons space to gather with friends and brainstorm big ideas – there’s no shortage of connection and collaboration opportunities.
Undergraduate student spaces
Located on the first floor of Mathison Hall is CPA Alberta Commons – an energetic collision space designed for undergraduate students. The commons area presents many opportunities for students to socialize, study, collaborate and talk big ideas. With comfortable décor, plenty of seating and quick access to many undergraduate services, classrooms and the Deloitte Student Club Room, this buzzing area will help students connect with classmates and stay on top of their studies.
Graduate student floor
The fourth floor caters exclusively to our growing masters’ programs including our Master of Management, MBA, EMBA and DBA. This floor serves as a one-stop shop for all graduate students with an exclusive graduate lounge, academic and career services and the Enbridge Concourse – an open, informal space for studying, socializing or collaborating. Graduate students can truly feel at home here with convenient access to resources, as well as stunning spaces to help them advance on their studies and achieve their educational goals.
Food Services
Located on the second level near the social staircase, Food Services completely transforms the campus dining experience with fresh made-to-order offerings, convenient grab-and-go options and high-quality coffee and beverages from Phil & Sebastian. Organized into three unique dining spaces – The Hot Seat, The Market and The Exchange – each area offers guests distinct dining options and helps fulfill the growing need for affordable, convenient and diverse food offerings on the East end of campus. In addition to these food retail spaces, Haskayne brings the latest technology to Food Services through Quick Eats, a 24/7 autonomous store, serving sandwiches, wraps, salads, baked goods, coffee and Coca-Cola products.
Events Facilities
A two-storey event space with a capacity of 300 that can be divided in two simultaneous events. The event space will welcome students and be an inviting place for our community to engage with thought leaders.
