College Plaza

I used to work in this building quite a few years ago. They have undergone some renovations and additions to shops (new Starbucks). They have a Sobeys Urban Fresh store in there as well. I come here mostly to go to the third floor to get my blood drawn. It’s always been a clean, safe environment. Security staff are pleasant and the elevators are swift.

Not much to say about College Plaza. The previous reviewer described it well so I don’t have much to add.
I will say that in general, the building is well-​maintained, and not too busy. Compared to the traffic and chaos outside it’s a nice — good place for a break not too far from campus. They have many medical centres here, DynaLife and MIC for example, and I’ve found that the wait times are far less than the clinics nearer to my house on the south side.
I don’t know, what can I really say? The elevators are fast.

It’s a building, what’s to say about the building? *smile*
The parkade access is from both avenues north and south of the building (that’s 83^rd and 82^nd/​Whyte ave) and it charges $ 2.25÷30 minutes. Don’t forget to keep your entry ticket as the only place to pay is inside the building.
The building is clean and bright, although the stairwells fit one person only and the stairs themselves are built for tiny feet.
In the building, you’ll find a Sobey’s, Kopio Coffee, a CIBC, a Pita place, Funky Pickle (pizza), a hair salon, a liquor store, the Department of Family Medicine (UofA), the office of the Association of Academic Staff of the University of Alberta, a dynalife blood/​urine lab, a pulmonology office with the ability to do complete lung functions, an x-​ray location (MIC), and I’m sure a bunch of other equally important places.
