Infrastructure Projects

The university invests in the effective and responsible development of our campus infrastructure — building campuses that reflect our excellence in academics, research and teaching.

From small renovations or sustainability projects, to building a large new facility from the ground up, our projects align with the U of A's vision, mission and mandate and are guided by the university's Long Range Development Plan and Integrated Asset Management Strategy.

Investments + Treasury

Investments and Treasury ensures the university's cash flow is managed effectively and that sufficient liquidity is maintained to meet the university's obligations. This responsibility extends to the design, implementation and delivery of a comprehensive investment program for the university's endowed and non-endowed funds.
