The Edmonton Clinic, formerly known as the Health Sciences Ambulatory Learning Centre (HSALC), will be an interdisciplinary health science facility located on the University of Alberta main campus, in Edmonton, Alberta, Canada.
The estimated cost for the 170,000 m² facility is C$909 million. The Edmonton Clinic North is slated for completion in 2011, and the Edmonton Clinic South is slated for completion in 2012.[1] The joint venture between the University of Alberta and Alberta Health Services is funded by the Province of Alberta.[2]
The Edmonton Clinic Health Academy will house the following university groups: Alberta Centre on Aging, Alberta Institute for Human Nutrition, Centre for Health Promotion Studies, Dentistry, Faculty of Medicine & Dentistry - Dean's Office, Faculty of Nursing, Rehab Robotics Lab, Health Sciences Council, Health Sciences Education and Research Commons, John Dosseter Health Ethics Centre, Nutrition and Food Sciences Program (ALES), School of Public Health, Teaching Facilities, Medical Laboratory Science, and Postgraduate Medical Education.[3] Family medicine, diabetes, orthopaedics, neurosciences, rehabilitation and dentistry clinics at the University of Alberta will be relocated to the new facility upon completion.

The facility will be housed in two separate buildings, with the north building, known as the Edmonton Clinic Health Academy, focused on research and teaching, and the south building specializing in clinical aspects.
