But appearances can be deceiving. You could mistake this thick slab of greyness for an exterior wall and, once upon a time, you would have been correct. However, like so many areas on our 50-year-old campus, things and purposes change.<p><a href="http://www.ucalgarymag.ca/issue/fall-winter-2016-17/article/where-are-we">read more</a></p> Fall Winter 2016-17 Where Are We?
