In 2019, the Office of the University Architect consulted the community on their experiences walking and cycling along 89 Avenue, an important corridor at the heart of North Campus.

The University of Alberta is home to several spaces for sharing art, music, dance, drama and other cultural arts. These institutions include University of Alberta Museums, FAB Gallery, Timms Centre for the Arts, and the Faculty of Music. They often feature the artistic work of students.
