A BUILDING INTENDED FOR A NEW KIND OF
ENERGY
HERE TO SUPPORT A NEW KIND OF FORCE
The Substation Collective began with the reimagining of a former 1952 electrical substation in Calgary’s Inglewood neighbourhood. Once built to hold and distribute energy, the building is now home to a collective of independent businesses & our mutli-use venue, Sub Space. This historic, industrial building continues to evolve through the community and concepts that moves through it.
