The Northern Alberta Institute of Technology (NAIT) is a hotbed of industry-driven research, delivering education in science, technology, the environment, business, health and skilled trades. At the heart of the main campus in Edmonton is NAIT’s largest building, the Feltham Centre—a 555,000-square-foot behemoth with classroom and lecture space, 11 student lounges, study areas, restaurants and an outdoor quad. The centre is also home to some of the country’s most advanced simulation labs, including the Centre for Advanced Medical Simulation, a state-of-the-art interactive and interdisciplinary hub that creates practical clinical situations in a safe and controlled environment.

NAIT’s 190,000-square-foot Productivity and Innovation Centre (PIC) is an industry-led setting for research and development. PIC encompasses several applied research centres, including the school’s centres for Oil Sands Sustainability, Sensors and System Integration, Grid Innovation, and Innovative Media. With nearly 40,000 students, NAIT offers more than 90 programs that lead to degrees, diplomas, certificates and micro-credentials. As a polytechnic, NAIT provides a hands-on, skills-based technological education. NAIT’s Nîsôhkamâtotân Centre provides Indigenous students with access to a network of support services, including Elders.
