Built is an annual pop-up shop organized and managed by the Student Design Association and numerous student volunteers. This temporary store offers a platform for up-and-coming designers to showcase and sell their creations in a commercial environment. It also serves as an excellent opportunity for Edmonton residents to buy locally-made products while supporting emerging talent. The selection of items available at Built are curated by a jury of design professionals and are held to professional standards. Students are encouraged to collaborate with local businesses in the production of their products.

This year is Built’s 10th year anniversary, the first pop-up store debuted in 2014 at Enterprise Square. In this first iteration, 70 design students brought 87 unique products to downtown Edmonton, amounting to $22,670 in purchases. We are excited to partner with CO*LAB this year. This is our first time partnering with them and building on the successes of previous years, we are eager to create an even greater impact this December.

The shop will be open until the 21st of December and the hours are 12pm to 6pm everyday except for Sunday the 15th.
