Niagara College
The Niagara College of Applied Arts and Technology (frequently shortened to Niagara College and branded as Niagara College Canada) is a public College of Applied Arts and Technology partnered with the private Toronto School of Management within the Niagara Region and the city of Toronto in Southern Ontario, Canada. As of 2023 Niagara has over 11,000 international students on study permits, among the highest in Canada.
The college has three campuses within Ontario: the Welland Campus in Welland, the Daniel J. Patterson Campus/Niagara-on-the-Lake Campus in Niagara-on-the-Lake, and the Toronto School of Management Partnership Campus in Toronto. Additionally it has international operations across Asia, including multiple campuses in Saudi Arabia under its Niagara College KSA subsidiary, and the Canada-China College in Wuhan, China. Their Maid of the Mist Campus in Niagara Falls closed in 2018.
The college has 12,500 full-time students, including about 4,000 international students from a variety of countries. It offers approximately 100 post-secondary diploma, baccalaureate degrees and advanced level programs. Niagara College employs 291 faculty, 89 administration staff and 224 support staff and has graduated more than 50,000 students.[citation needed]
On May 21, 1965, Ontario led the way for colleges of applied arts and technology with the creation of its college system.[citation needed] In 1967, Niagara College's Welland Campus was established in response to the provincial initiative to create many such institutions, providing career-oriented diploma and certificate courses, as well as continuing education programs.
In 1998, Niagara College opened its Niagara-on-the-Lake Campus in Niagara-on-the-Lake, Ontario. In 2004, Niagara College's hospitality, tourism and culinary programs moved from the Maid of the Mist Campus to new facilities at the Niagara-on-the-Lake Campus. In 2002, Niagara College launched its Niagara College Teaching Winery, the first commercial teaching winery in Canada, and in 2011 it launched the Niagara College Teaching Brewery, also the first of its kind in Canada. Today, the culinary programs, teaching winery and teaching brewery are all part of Niagara College's Canadian Food and Wine Institute. In the early 19th century, the Niagara-on-the-Lake campus was the site of the Black Swamp, through which Laura Secord traveled on her way to warn British Lieutenant FitzGibbon of a surprise attack by American forces.
In response to the rapid growth of Niagara's tourism sector and the anticipated demand for thousands of new workers, the college established the Tourism Industry Development Centre (TIDC). Housed on the Maid of the Mist Campus in Niagara Falls, the TIDC serves as a dedicated industry development and training resource for the hospitality and tourism sector. In 2007, the Ontario Street Site was added for the expanding Health & Community Studies programs.
In 2008, Niagara College embarked on a $90 million campus redevelopment as part of the college's overall master plan, which included significant improvements and additions to the Welland and Niagara-on-the-Lake Campuses. The redevelopment project was designed to increase capacity in programs that serve key industries in Niagara, including skilled trades, technology, winery and viticulture and hospitality and tourism, while providing much-needed improvements to aging facilities. The project was also a response to the college's growth, including a 10.1 percent increase in total enrolment for the fall 2008 term.[citation needed]
Construction at the Welland Campus included a 15,000-square-foot (1,400 m2) expansion to the Rankin Technology Centre, as well as a new Academic Wing, a Library and Learning Commons, a two-story Athletics Centre, a Student Centre and the $40 million Applied Health Institute (AHI), funded by the federal and provincial governments under the Knowledge Infrastructure Program (KIP). The facility brought all of Niagara College's health programs into one complex and created space for new programs and students. The AHI includes classrooms and simulation labs, a dental clinic, community health clinic and a 350-seat auditorium.
