SMP Engineering designed innovative electrical systems for UAlberta's Thelma Chalifoux Hall, featuring LED lighting, Wi-Fi, and security for 426 first-year students in a modern residence.
Located in the Lister Residence Complex on the University’s campus, Thelma Chalifoux Hall was designed to accommodate 426 beds and has many innovative design features to support the housing needs of first-year students.
The 109,000 ft² building opened in September 2018 and included resident dorms, faculty resident suites, fitness spaces, a large kitchen and common gathering space, multi-purpose rooms, study rooms, and lounge spaces on all floors. SMP’s electrical design included state-of-the-art LED lighting, wireless coverage throughout, and audiovisual and security systems.
I have worked with SMP Engineering through my entire career at University going back nearly 20 years to the days of Wasnea- Mah. SMP has been the model of consistency and professionalism in that time making significant contributions to University Commons, Myer Horowitz Theatre Renewals. Chemistry Complex renewals, and now are supporting the University on the LIFT Centre Project.
I have had the pleasure of working with SMP both directly and indirectly, and my experience has consistently been very positive. I have always been impressed with the level of service, technical expertise, and depth of knowledge they bring to their work. What stands out most is the genuine care and attention they put into their designs, ensuring that solutions are thoughtful, practical, and aligned with project needs. SMP has consistently demonstrated professionalism, strong understanding, and a commitment to delivering quality outcomes
