The Virtual Place Riel

Originally conceived and built in the late 1970s, the Place Riel Student Centre's size and facilities have been challenged by its capacity to serve the needs of a growing student population on the University of Saskatchewan campus. The gallery below provides a sense of Place Riel as it will appear upon the completion of the renovation project.
