 In 2003, the University of Calgary developed the Pipeline Engineering Center to address the shortage of engineers in the sector due to aging demographics. Since that time, the Pipeline Engineering Center has grown into a globally recognized center for pipeline research, education, and knowledge dissemination. Thirteen years after our founding, the University of Calgary received funding from the federal government for the renovation of our home in the Petro-Canada building. After two long years of renovations, in 2019, we returned to our home, moving into a new laboratory that was carefully designed for collaborative pipeline research, the new advanced pipeline research and innovation laboratory, or as we refer to it by its acronym, April. For it is by working together through closed teamwork that we are each able to bring our unique background and knowledge to a problem, starting with nothing more than a concept. We perform small-scale experiments to test out our ideas, and it is through careful testing and refinement that these ideas advance in size and complexity, through things like field testing or startup companies. Some of our ideas eventually make it into the real world. But it is in our graduates who we have the greatest pride, for they have been educated to ensure the safety and security of our society. We are the University of Calgary Pipeline Engineering Center.
