Built within a collaborative framework
Jeanne & Peter Lougheed Performing Arts Centre is a unique performing arts venue located on the beautiful, historic University of Alberta’s’ Augustana Campus in the heart of the province.
The facility was built through the collaborative efforts of the City of Camrose and the University of Alberta. It was conceived of as a performance space to celebrate our cultural achievements and provide access to the performing arts for the community.
Built with the community in mind.
The overall design for the building included a great deal of attention not only to what the community was envisioning for the space but also towards sustainability for the future. The theatre is home to the largest integrated photovoltaic array,(solar panels), which blanket the entire 70’fly-tower, including the North face, and is the first theatre in North America to use entirely LED lighting, including the stage lights, on the interior and exterior of the building.

“The home to performing arts in Camrose, we showcase world-class entertainment for our citizens while also providing leadership and expertise to local events, all of which contribute to the cultural fabric of our community.”
