The project will work to repurpose the former Mount Royal University Library building, also known as the G-Wing. The building was originally built in 1975. Upon completion it will be known as the Sam Taylor Student Commons.
The goal is to facilitate a more streamlined experience for
students as they access centralized services such as Academic Advising and Career Services. An information counter to greet students, appointment rooms and flexible spaces contribute to a comfortable environment that adapts to the needs of users, whether they be students or employees. A central student plaza serves as a gathering place while also fostering greater connection with Indigenous and international students and communities. In addition, the project features two new classrooms that will be able to accommodate large groups of students in addition to two Science and Technology laboratories to replace the two that will have to be removed due to construction.
A building permit was issued on April 6th 2025.
