A university campus is a complex mix. Discoveries are always happening, innovation is around every corner and curiosity is a way of life. The support of all of this human intellect is often unseen, with continuous operational assessments and maintenance happening behind the scenes and out of the way. Sometimes all the hustle and bustle can seem disconnected, but there are threads everywhere tying it all together, not just internally, but extending out into the external community.

This section peels back the layers of Mount Royal, exposing its intimate inner-workings.
