===Main Campus===
[[File:University of Calgary entrance.jpg|thumb|University of Calgary main campus entrance]]
The university grounds lie about {{convert|10|km|mi}} northwest of [[Downtown Calgary]], and immediately south of the neighbourhood of [[Varsity, Calgary|Varsity]]. The University of Calgary campus occupies {{convert|213|ha|acre|lk=in}} or {{convert|2.13|km2|sqmi|abbr=on}}, an area larger than Calgary's entire downtown. The campus is bounded by Crowchild Trail, 32 Avenue NW, Shaganappi Trail NW, and 24 Avenue N.W..

The architecture is defined by a combination of [[Brutalist]] and [[Postmodernism|Postmodern]] buildings spread across campus, most of them built between 1960 and 1980. In 2016, the campus finished repurposing and renovating the Canadian Natural Resources Limited Engineering Complex<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://schulich.ucalgary.ca/about-schulich/schulich-expansion-and-renovation-project|title=A New Era in Engineering Education {{!}} Schulich School of Engineering {{!}} University of Calgary|website=schulich.ucalgary.ca|access-date=2017-08-08|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20170817005904/http://schulich.ucalgary.ca/about-schulich/schulich-expansion-and-renovation-project|archive-date=2017-08-17}}</ref> situated within the Schulich School of Engineering. In 2017, the university has recently started on rehabilitating the aging MacKimmie Complex.

The main campus is connected to Calgary's [[C-Train]] light-rail system at [[University (C-Train)|University Station]].

A large [[park]] is built in the centre of the main campus, and is home to several specially commissioned sculptures. In addition, a [[pond]] surrounded by benches and an open field is available. The park contains old [[oak]] trees which were specially transplanted to the location when the university was opened. Together, they form a considerable amount of tree canopies which add a more natural feeling to the campus.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://people.ucalgary.ca/~nickle/Old_site/campusculture/campusculture.html |title=A Conversation with Campus Culture Walking Tour |publisher=People.ucalgary.ca |access-date=2011-03-10}}</ref>

===West Campus===
[[File:Alberta Children's Hospital 3+4.jpg|thumb|left|The [[Alberta Children's Hospital]] is an affiliated hospital of the university, located in the West Campus.]]
In 1995, the Province of Alberta gave the University of Calgary a large tract of land west of the Main Campus with the understanding it would be used in the future to advance the university's mission, vision, values and priorities. About a third of the size of downtown Calgary, the land overlooks the Bow River valley and covers {{convert|80|ha|acre|0}} east of [[Shaganappi Trail]] between 16th Avenue (TransCanada Highway) and 32 Avenue N.W. The western campus lies on mostly hilly terrain, near the Bow River. It is adjacent to the main campus of the university, and is home to the [[Alberta Children's Hospital]] and Child Development Centre. With the recent boost in annual funding, the university has begun a development plan in order to make better use of the remaining space. Dubbed the University District, the area is to include a mixture of residential and commercial development.

Part of the West Campus was leased for the new Alberta Children's Hospital and a new [[Ronald McDonald]] House. Currently, the campus is only halfway developed and is considered building room for the future. From this location, it is possible to see the entire university and also [[Downtown Calgary]].<ref name="ucalgary.ca">{{cite web|url=https://www.ucalgary.ca/map/|title=University of Calgary Campus Maps|date=2010-07-06|publisher=Ucalgary.ca|access-date=2011-03-10}}</ref>

===Health Sciences Campus===
The University of Calgary Board of Governors chose to launch a medical school in the late 1960s, with the first tangible building to house this endeavor being the Health Sciences Building, which opened in 1972. The Health Sciences Building shared a site with the [[Foothills Medical Centre]] some distance south of the Main Campus. This site became known as the Health Sciences Campus, with subsequent additions being the Heritage Medical Building (opened 1987), the Health Research Innovation Centre and the Teaching, Research and Wellness building.<ref>{{cite book |last=Wyse |first=D George |year=2010 |title=Hearts, Minds and Vision: Roots of the Libin Cardiovascular Institute of Alberta |publisher=Kingsley Publishing |isbn=978-1926832159 }}</ref>
