City of Calgary Water Centre

The City of Calgary Water Centre, completed in 2008, serves as the headquarters for Calgary's Water Resources and Water Services, employing over 770 staff. Notably, it was the largest LEED-rated office building in Alberta at its opening and the first in the province to achieve Gold certification. Located near the Calgary Stampede grounds, the building was constructed on a previously developed site and features numerous sustainable design elements, including a green roof and rainwater harvesting. With a focus on energy efficiency, it boasts a 58% reduction in annual energy consumption and a 95% recycling rate of construction materials. This innovative facility not only highlights Calgary's commitment to environmental sustainability but also represents a significant architectural achievement in the region.
