'''SAIT/AUArts/Jubilee station''', is a [[light rail]] station on the [[CTrain]] network of [[Calgary, Alberta]]. It serves the Northwest leg of the [[Red Line (Calgary)|Red Line]] and opened on September 7, 1987, as part of the original line. The station is located on the exclusive LRT right of way in the heart of the [[Southern Alberta Institute of Technology]] (SAIT) campus, {{convert|1.8|km|mi|abbr=on}} northwest of the 7 Avenue & 9 Street SW.
The station possesses a center-loading platform which has grade-level access at the West end and +15 access at the East end connecting to both SAIT and the [[Alberta College of Art and Design|Alberta University of the Arts]] (AUArts). Stairs, an elevator and an escalator connect the platform to the +15.  The station's full name is [[Southern Alberta Institute of Technology]]/[[Alberta University of the Arts]]/[[Southern Alberta Jubilee Auditorium]]. The station serves all of the aforementioned landmarks, and is also located close to the northern periphery of Riley Park.
When the station opened, the signage read "SAIT/ACA/Jubilee", as the station was constructed eight years before the Alberta College of Art changed its name to Alberta College of Art and Design. The signage was changed to "SAIT/AUArts/Jubilee" in mid-2019 due to the name change of Alberta College of Art and Design to the Alberta University of the Arts, although some trains continued to announce "SAIT/ACAD/Jubilee", especially the older [[Siemens-Duewag U2]]s.

As part of Calgary Transit's plan to operate four-car trains by the end of 2014, all three-car platforms were to be extended. Construction of the extension for the then called SAIT/ACAD/Jubilee station started July 3, 2014 and was completed by the end of 2014.<ref>{{Cite web|last=Transit|first=Calgary|title=Service Updates {{!}} Calgary Transit|url=http://www.calgarytransit.com/service-updates|access-date=2020-08-22|website=www.calgarytransit.com|language=en}}</ref>
