Description

Myers designed the Housing University Building (HUB) at the University of Alberta, in Edmonton, Alberta, Canada. The HUB is a 957-foot-long galleria with retail shops, day care center, recreation facilities, and student housing on the upper floors of the 4-story building. It was designed as a student center for cold climates, so that students did not need to walk outside in the winter.
