The Northern Alberta Institute of Technology is a technical college/trades school located in Edmonton, Alberta, Canada. This page will cover Building U, the learning resources centre, which also houses the library and many study spaces. It was built in 1963, and the fire alarm system was upgraded around 1988, and finally in the 2000s.
