Canada Saskatchewan Production Studios, Production studio in Regina, Canada
Canada Saskatchewan Production Studios is a production facility in Regina located at College Avenue and Broad Street. The complex features four sound stages along with carpentry workshops, makeup rooms, and wardrobe departments for film and television work.
The Collegiate Gothic building, designed by Regina architects Storey and Van Egmond, opened in 1913 as the Saskatchewan Normal School; classes began in January 1914 before completion in 1915. The Royal Canadian Air Force took it over in 1940 for military training until the end of World War II. After serving the University of Regina's Faculty of Education and Fine Arts, it was gutted and rebuilt as production studios in 2002.
The building's name comes from its 2002 conversion into a provincial film and television facility. Productions shot there include the sitcom Corner Gas (2004–2009), Tideland (2005) and Dolan's Cadillac (2009). The sound stage connects directly to the CBC Broadcasting Centre next door.
The facility includes specialized areas equipped for different types of production work and technical requirements. Keep in mind this is an active production center, so access and availability may vary depending on ongoing projects.
The 2002 conversion kept only the north, east and part of the west walls of the 1913 school, which was then rebuilt inside as a studio. Stantec Architecture led the design and Dominion Construction carried out the work. The building also connects directly to the CBC Broadcasting Centre next door.
