Calgary’s SAIT campus will expand its reach in the downtown core this the fall.
The Tastemarket will be located at 444 7 Ave. S.W. and according to the school, the 9,000 square foot space will foster the next generation of industry leaders in the culinary community.
“SAIT is proud of our 100-year connection to the Calgary community,” said SAIT President and CEO Dr. David Ross. “With our new downtown facility, in tandem with our existing downtown Culinary Campus, we will continue to contribute to the vibrancy of Calgary’s downtown core. Importantly, programming available at The Tastemarket will be a catalyst for our students and graduates to develop their entrepreneurial skills and enable them to succeed here in Calgary and around the world.”
It will feature four stations: charcuterie and bar, patisserie, flatbreads and a line with daily creations produced by student entrepreneurs.
The campus is designed around SAIT’s new Culinary Entrepreneurship post-diploma program. Students in the program will learn first-hand about everything from business operations and finance to regulations and human resources management.
It is scheduled to open September 2017.
