The Saskatoon Campus of Innovation Place is an environment that encourages and fosters innovation, collaboration, and entrepreneurship. The physical environment creates interior and exterior spaces which enhance tenant experiences, promotes interaction and collaboration among tenants and the adjacent University of Saskatchewan, supports the establishment and growth of businesses, and provides some of the highest quality and best managed public spaces for residents of, and visitors to, Saskatoon.
Innovation Place is a beautifully designed and carefully maintained high quality landscape that benefits the technology and research groups on campus. Because it is publicly accessible and integrated with the landscapes and trail networks of the River Valley, University, and City, it also provides unique public amenities. Crosby Hanna & Associates was integral to the master planning, and site and landscape development, of the park since its inception, providing ongoing master planning updates as campus developed and expanded.
The campus itself is a gem, a mature landscape that is a celebration of the Province of Saskatchewan: embedded into the fabric of campus are four character zones, each celebrating a unique Saskatchewan ecoregion. Aspen Parkland, Boreal Forest, Agricultural, and Urban character zones each have their own unique identities within campus, and River and Wetland character zones are planned for future expansion areas. Character zones individually instill a sense of place within each zone, and together celebrate the diversity of landscapes in the Province of Saskatchewan.
