This November marks the 50th anniversary of the opening of Mount Royal's Lincoln Park Campus in southwest Calgary in 1972. Through photographs and records from the MRU Archives and Special Collections, this display examines Mount Royal College's decision to move out of downtown Calgary and describes the many obstacles that had to be overcome to realize the dream of a new campus. It also highlights many features of the Lincoln Park Campus that were considered cutting edge at the time, and which continue to contribute to the character of the campus today.
