===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>
