SMP Engineering contributed to Calgary's SAM Centre, an immersive Stampede experience opening in 2024, featuring interactive exhibits and sustainable design for community engagement.

 The SAM Centre, located in the heart of Stampede Park in Calgary, is a 30,000 ft2 immersive experience bringing the rich history and vibrant spirit of the Calgary Stampede to life. Opening in 2024, this community-focused, 21st-century learning space connects people by sharing over 100 years of Stampede memories through interactive exhibits, multimedia displays, and captivating storytelling. Visitors can explore artifacts, participate in hands-on activities, and create their own Stampede stories. Designed with three core focuses—storymaking, archives and collections, and support—the centre features sustainable elements, a striking "lantern" centrepiece, and offers a unique blend of western heritage, modern technology, and community connection for locals and tourists alike.
