Algonquin College
Algonquin College of Applied Arts and Technology is a publicly funded English-language college located in Ottawa, Ontario, Canada. The college serves the National Capital Region and the outlying areas of Eastern Ontario, Western Quebec, and Upstate New York. The college has three campuses, all in Ontario: a primary campus located in Ottawa, and secondary campuses located in Perth and Pembroke. The college offers bachelor's degrees, diplomas, and certificates in a range of disciplines and specialties. It has been ranked among the Top 50 Research Colleges in Canada.
History
The college was established during the formation of Ontario's college system in 1967. Colleges of Applied Arts and Technology were established on May 21, 1965, when the Ontario system of public colleges was created. The founding institutions were the Eastern Ontario Institute of Technology (established in 1957) and the Ontario Vocational Centre Ottawa (established in 1965 at the Woodroffe Campus and known as OVC). The original 8 acres site on Woodroffe Avenue was donated to the city by Mr.and Mrs.Frank Ryan.
The Ottawa architecture firm of Burgess, McLean & MacPhadyen designed the midcentury academic complex with open-ended blocks alternatively faced with long glass expanses in a semi-gambrel formation that make up the curtain walls and precast aggregate panels. The corporate campus or modernist academic acropolis spread across North America in the early 1960s. The entrance is via a deeply recessed terrace that's overhung with small white ceramic tiles and vintage can lights. The long walls are bumped out to float over the foundation. The foundation plantings keep the blocks from appearing stark.
The first Principal of the Ontario Vocational Centre (OVC) was Kenneth G. Shoultz. Principal Shoultz took on the leadership of OVC in 1965 after working as a technical studies teacher and then as an inspector for the Ontario Department of Education. K.G. Shoultz continued on as the first Dean of the Technical Centre after OVC was amalgamated with Algonquin College in 1967.

Campus Information
Ottawa
A college campus should be designed around student needs. It should include the facilities — from public busing to affordable, healthy food services — that make student life efficient, worry-free, and productive. Students have varied interests and needs. That’s why the Ottawa campus of Algonquin accommodates a diverse range of requirements. A college campus should be setup to encourage discussion, with students enriching each other’s experience, providing friendship, support and offering a special way to learn.
Perth Campus
Our Perth campus is special. There is the beautiful setting, the small-town charm, and the unique programs that can be found nowhere else in Ontario. Beyond those attributes, there’s the special relationship with the Town of Perth. There is a lot of interaction with the local community. Everyone gets a strong sense of belonging. Perth students quickly benefit with community involvement — from working on local buildings to using recreational facilities, such as hockey rinks and gymnasiums. Ultra-modern equipment stands side-by-side with centuries-old trade techniques.
Ottawa Valley Pembroke Campus
Imagine a college where you can eat your lunch along the shores of the Ottawa River or stroll through parkland walkways between classes. It would be hard to find a college campus anywhere in Canada more beautifully situated than our Pembroke waterfront campus. In November 2012, a new, $36-million campus officially opened, offering sixteen full-time programs, plus apprenticeship, academic upgrading and continuing education courses. With small classes and experienced instructors, the campus promises you outstanding learning opportunities.
