Campus
The institutes's main campus is in Edmonton, Alberta, but a satellite campus is located in St. Albert.
On April 10, 2012, The Progressive Conservative Government announced a three-year capital project funding commitment that included $200 million dollars towards the NAIT CAT building. The press release states:
"This province's post-secondary institutions have strong and innovative visions for the future and the PC party is proud to support that vision. This promise represents a real investment that will support the student population for years to come."
"Each one of the five projects will greatly enhance each institution's unique teaching capabilities and will ensure that Alberta's post-secondary facilities maintain their competitiveness and uphold their exemplary reputations."
The funding allocated to NAIT will enable them to replace a costly, aging building and will facilitate the institution's pursuit to produce more skilled people in the trades, technology and health care sectors. NorQuest College will be able to fulfill its vision to consolidate services to a single campus. Lethbridge College will educate students through its high caliber Trades and Technology Renewal and Innovation Project. The University of Calgary will be able to expand the Schulich School of Engineering, and Mount Royal University will invest in their library and learning centre.
"An investment in Alberta's post-secondary infrastructure is an investment in Alberta's future. By providing the necessary facilities and expanding capacity, we can ensure Albertans are ready to meet our economies demand for skilled labour as part of a world-class workforce."''
