This $13M project at the University of Alberta involved transforming the existing Student’s Union Building into a state-of-the-art theatre space, catering to the needs of a dynamic campus environment. The renovation of the Myer Horowitz Theatre included updates to the stage, seating area, and essential back-of-house support areas, complemented by a reimagined multi-level lobby designed to host a variety of events, from community gatherings to private rentals.

SMP’s scope encompassed the design and implementation of new architectural and house lighting, integration of electrical systems for advanced theatrical lighting and A/V, as well as enhanced security and access controls. Our team also upgraded fire alarm and life safety systems, improved power and data infrastructure, and integrated a roof-mounted and façade photovoltaic (solar) system. This project showcases our expertise in revitalizing institutional spaces, blending modern design with functionality to create a welcoming environment for students, faculty, and the broader community.
