Location

Calgary, Alberta

Client

Alberta University of the Arts (AUArts)

Completed

Services Provided

Long-term enrollment modelling, tuition revenue strategy, academic program costing, operational forecasting, business case development

Impact

The model provided the evidence and financial clarity required for AUArts to achieve full university status, expanding academic opportunity and recognition for students across Alberta and beyond.

Larkspur created a detailed 10-year financial and operational model to support the institution’s transition from college to university status. The work included enrollment scenario planning, tuition and research revenue modeling, program costing, staffing and space requirements, and long-term sustainability projections. The resulting financial case was used to secure government approval for university designation.

Larkspur Projects is located in Calgary, on the ancestral and traditional territory of the Blackfoot Confederacy — the Niitsitapi peoples, including the Siksika, Kainai, Piikani, and Amskapi Piikani. We also acknowledge the shared lands of the Tsuut’ina (Dene) and the Îyârhe Nakoda (Stoney) Nations — Bearspaw, Chiniki, and Goodstoney. This is also the homeland of the Otipemisiwak Métis Government, including Métis Nation Battle River Territory, Districts 5 and 6.
 

The place we now call Calgary has long been known as Moh’kins’tsis by the Blackfoot, Guts’ists’i by the Tsuut’ina, and Wîchîspa by the Îyârhe Nakoda. We recognize, honour, and give thanks to the original caretakers of this land, and commit ourselves to building respectful relationships with the peoples whose histories, languages, and cultures continue to shape this place.
