behind it, the Arts Commons Transformation (ACT)
project—led by the Calgary Municipal Land Corporation,
a wholly owned subsidiary of The City of Calgary—includes two phases to achieve a new, vibrant campus in
the heart of Calgary.
Phase one of the transformation will expand capacity at
a new location called Arts Commons North, or The Road
House, that will include three versatile, purpose-built
venues, a connection to the existing building and supporting amenities. This 173,000 sq. ft. space will include
a new 1,200 seat theatre, two smaller theatres, rehearsal
space and an elevated corridor to the existing building
and related amenities.
Phase two of the Arts Commons Transformation involves the revitalization of the existing facility. Arts Commons South or The Resident House will be redesigned
and will create a civic arts centre that is more accessible,
with upgraded amenities and technology. The Resident
House is currently home to six resident companies.

tre diameter storm trunk sewer, 17-km length of storm
collector sewers and install 325 inlet control devices to
control stormwater going to catch basins. When construction is complete in 2026, the new infrastructure will cut
the amount of storm water flowing into Black Creek on
the western edge of the community by approximately
40,000 cubic metres, reducing sewer backups and basement flooding for more than 4,645 homes and provide
flood protection to a 140-hectare area. The first contract to
construct the storm trunk sewer and some storm collector
sewers is underway. Several shafts have been completed
and others are being constructed in anticipation of tunneling work, set to commence in early 2023.
