Campus Pedways

Cross campus indoors. Check which buildings connect, and whether the link is open before you set out.

Winter routes

Edmonton winters are long. The pedways let you skip most of the walk outside.

Pedways are the enclosed bridges and tunnels linking many North Campus buildings. They are not one continuous system — campus has several separate indoor networks, and getting between them means going outside. Check your pair below before you leave.

Check the hours before you rely on this

Opening hours here come from a community-maintained map and are not guaranteed to be current. Buildings close earlier on weekends and holidays, some doors need a ONEcard after hours, and construction can close a link with no notice. If it is cold and you are unsure, dress for the walk outside or call Safewalk.

Can I get there indoors?

Pick a start and a destination. If they share a network, the shortest indoor route is listed and highlighted on the map.

Pick two buildings to see whether they are linked indoors.

Only the 19 entrances documented in the source map are shown. Most buildings have further student entrances that are not mapped here — if a building has no marker, it does not mean there is no way in. Use the official campus maps for a complete picture of doors.

2 further short links appear on the map without a named building at each end, including the LRT station and Rutherford connections. Van Vliet Complex has mapped indoor corridors that do not join any other building, so it appears in the picker above but not as a network here.

Pedway geometry, entrances and hours come from the public “North Campus Building Access and Hours” map, converted by tools/build-pedway-data.py. This is a student-created guide, not an official University of Alberta service, and the source map is community-maintained rather than official.
