Jamieson Place, Postmodern skyscraper in downtown Calgary, Canada
Jamieson Place is a postmodern skyscraper in downtown Calgary rising 172 meters with 38 floors containing office and commercial spaces. The tower features a three-story interior winter garden that serves as a gathering area within the structure.
Construction started in 2007 and finished in 2009, creating a modern landmark in Calgary's skyline. The project was completed during a period of active urban development in Alberta's largest city.
The three-story interior winter garden features hanging glass sculptures by artist Dale Chihuly that add artistic presence to the commercial space. Visitors encounter these installations while passing through the building.
The building connects to Calgary's Plus 15 pedestrian network, which links to neighboring structures through indoor passages. This system allows visitors to explore the area comfortably during winter without facing harsh weather outside.
The tower is named after Alice Jamieson, who became the first female judge in the British Empire in 1914. This naming choice honors an important milestone in legal and social progress.
