City of Calgary Water Centre, Municipal center in Calgary, Canada

The City of Calgary Water Centre is a four-storey office building completed in 2008, designed by Sturgess Architecture and Manasc Isaac. It houses 460 professional and 314 field staff of the city's water services. The building is 95% day lit and includes a green roof, rainwater harvesting and zero-irrigation landscaping.

Construction began in 2005 on a city-owned brownfield near the Calgary Stampede grounds, previously occupied by a furrier and a C-Train depot. The four-storey building was completed in 2008, designed by Sturgess Architecture and Manasc Isaac, and was Alberta's first LEED Gold-certified building.

The building brings together employees from different roles who share water management responsibilities for the city. The layout encourages people from desk jobs and field work to interact throughout the day.

The four-storey building houses 460 professional and 314 field staff, so it is a working office rather than a visitor site. It stands on a former brownfield site owned by the city near the Calgary Stampede grounds, where a furrier and a C-Train depot once operated.

The building incorporates water-saving systems that reduce consumption far below typical building standards through rainwater capture and specialized green roof design. This approach makes it a working example of how municipal facilities can demonstrate environmental responsibility.
