Ontario College of Art & Design University, commonly known as OCAD University or OCAD U, is a public art university in Toronto, Ontario, Canada. Its main campus is located within Toronto's Grange Park and Entertainment District neighbourhoods. The university is co-educational and operates three academic faculties — the Faculty of Art, the Faculty of Liberal Arts and Science, and the Faculty of Design — which offer programs at the undergraduate and graduate level, as well as certificate programs and continuing education courses.

Established in 1876 by the Ontario Society of Artists as the Ontario School of Art, it is the oldest operating school in Canada dedicated to art and design education.[4][5] The institution was renamed twice in 1886 and 1890 before it was granted a charter by the provincial government under its new name, the Ontario College of Art (OCA), in 1912. With the inception of the college's design department in 1996, the institution became the Ontario College of Art and Design (OCAD). In 2010, the university designation was formally added to its name as OCAD University to reflect the school's growth and change in degree-granting powers. The university is one of four members of the Association of Independent Colleges of Art and Design located outside the United States.

In 2021, there were 4,600 undergraduates and 390 graduate students enrolled at the university. As of 2022, the university holds an association of over 25,000 alumni.

History

[edit]

Early history

[edit]
Inside the Central Ontario School of Art and Industrial Design in the late-19th century. William Cruikshank, an instructor at the school, is pictured in the background.

The institution was founded by the Ontario Society of Artists in 1876 as the Ontario School of Art,[6] whose objective was to provide professional artistic training while furthering the development of art education in Ontario.[7][note 3] The Ontario Society of Artists passed the motion to "draw up a scheme" for a school of art on April 4, 1876, which later led to its creation on October 30, 1876, funded by a government grant of $1,000. The school initially opened at 14 King Street West[8] with artist Thomas Mower Martin as the founding director, a position he held for three years.[9][10] Fellow artists Robert Harris and William Cruikshank also joined the school, the latter serving as the school's president from 1884 to 1886.[11]

In 1882, the province's department of education assumed control over the school and relocated it to the Toronto Normal School.[8][12][13] In 1886, the school was relocated to another location at Queen Street and Yonge Street and renamed the Toronto Art School.[14][15]

When the Ontario Society of Artists resumed sponsorship of the school in 1890, they renamed it the Central Ontario School of Art and Industrial Design and reopened it at the Princess Theatre,[8] which also shared its premises with the Art Museum of Toronto (now the Art Gallery of Ontario).[16]

20th century

[edit]

In 1910, the school was again relocated, occupying 1 College Street as a result of the Princess Theatre's demolition.[16] Two years later, the school was granted a charter by the Ontario government that authorized it to issue diplomas.[17] The institution was incorporated as the Ontario College of Art (OCA) with George Agnew Reid named as the school's first principal.[18] Reid designed the first building owned by the college, which was two storeys and fronted onto Grange Park. The college moved, for the last time, to the new permanent property in 1921, which was then regarded as the first building in Canada "built specifically for the education of professional artists and designers."[19][20]

As a part of Reid's wider efforts to have visual arts accepted as part of the province's formal education system, Reid pushed for the OCA to potentially become a constituent college of the University of Toronto; however, the proposed amalgamation was never pursued.[16]

In 1945, the OCA established a design school, broadening its education mandate.[21] By the 1950s, the college had expanded beyond its campus, operating classes in Port Hope, Ontario and at William Houston Public School in midtown Toronto (presently part of York University's Glendon Campus).

Roy Ascott, who was OCA's president from 1971 to 1972, radically challenged the college's curriculum structure.[22] The overhaul of the college's curriculum put forward by Ascott anticipated future developments in art pedagogy but polarized the community at the time, hastening his departure from the college.[23] In 1974, the institution launched its Florence foreign exchange program, which allowed students to study in Florence, Italy inside a dedicated building with studio spaces. The program was staffed by faculty members until the program was discontinued in 2017.[24][25]

From 1979 to 1997, OCA also held classes at the Stewart Building, a building located north of the main campus at 149 College Street.[21]

The institution remained the Ontario College of Art until 1996 when it was renamed the Ontario College of Art and Design (OCAD),[21] a change intended to raise the institution's media and industrial profile, as well as better position it for a transition from a diploma- to a degree-granting body.[26] In the following year, the college entered into a partnership with the U.K.-based Open University to provide students the opportunity to obtain an Open University undergraduate degree.[21]

21st century

[edit]

In 2002, the provincial legislature granted university status to OCAD along with the limited authority to confer bachelor's degrees in fine arts and design under its name. In 2007, OCAD was given limited authority to confer graduate degrees and accepted its first cohort of graduate students the next year.[17] In 2008, the college was granted membership into the Association of Universities and Colleges of Canada.[21] In 2009, the university began to provide continuing education services to non-degree students through its School of Continuing Studies.[21]

The institution saw significant changes in its pedagogy early into Sara Diamond's tenure as OCAD's president from 2005 to 2020. Diamond emphasized academics over studio time, increasing the independence of the academic deans and requiring full-time instructors to hold a graduate degree.[8] There was some controversy as two faculty members resigned over the changes.[27] The curriculum was also changed to reduce the amount of classroom time versus studio time, increase the academic rigour of the school's programs, and push for digital media and design research classes.[8]

In 2010, the institution officially became the Ontario College of Art and Design University (OCAD U) with full degree-granting powers subsequently awarded to the university on July 1, 2020 by the Government of Ontario,[28] including the ability to confer its own honorary degrees.[8]

Campus

[edit]

The university's campus is spread across several buildings within Toronto's downtown core. The largest cluster of buildings, including the Main Building, is located in the Grange Park neighbourhood around McCaul Street between Dundas Street and Queen Street West. Several other buildings are located south of the neighbourhood in the Entertainment District and in East Bayfront.

The Grange Park cluster includes the Main Building (including the George Reid Wing and the Rosalie Sharp Centre for Design), Butterfield Park, the Annex Building, the Rosalie Sharp Pavilion, 49-51 McCaul Street, and 74–76 McCaul Street. The George Reid Wing and 74–76 McCaul Street are both designated buildings under the Ontario Heritage Act.[29] 49-51 McCaul Street has common spaces, a gallery, an administration and security office, and the copy and print centre; 51 McCaul formerly housed the campus bookstore, but it was relocated in 2018 to a leased space inside the University of Toronto's St. George campus bookstore.

OCAD U buildings on Richmond Street West, with 230–240 Richmond in the left and 205 Richmond on the right.

In addition, the university operates three buildings in the Entertainment District: 205 and 230-240 Richmond Street West. The former building was acquired by the university in 2007, while the latter two interconnected buildings were acquired the following year.[21] In addition to facilities, 230–240 Richmond Street West also holds spaces leased to the co-working space company WeWork.

The East Bayfront "waterfront campus" is located at 130 Queens Quay East and occupies 1,300 square metres (14,000 sq ft) of leased space. The waterfront campus houses a business incubator,[30] and the building forms part of a larger complex called the Daniels Waterfront—City of the Arts.[31]

Like other universities and colleges in Toronto, OCAD U is mainly a commuter school; it is the only post-secondary institution in the city that does not have any student residences on campus, though it offers students resources to search for off-campus accommodations in the city.[4][21]

Academic buildings

[edit]

Main Building

[edit]

The earliest component of the Main Building, the George Reid House, was opened in 1921 and was designed by George Agnew Reid, an alumnus and principal at the Ontario College of Art.[20] The architecture of the building is designed in a Georgian style that is similar to The Grange nearby.[16]

On January 17, 1957, the first expansion to the Main Building was inaugurated, a modernist extension known as the A. J. Casson Wing.[32][33][34] Two more extensions were later added in 1963 and 1967, the former adding the Nora E. Vaughan Auditorium, and the latter adding two additional floors and an atrium.[21]

In 2000, funding was secured from Ontario's SuperBuild program to build a fifth extension to the Main Building.[34][21] Through Canadian architect Rod Robbie, British architect Will Alsop was made aware of the project and was eventually selected in 2002.[34][35] A joint venture was formed between the two individuals' firms and the new contemporary extension, now known as the Rosalie Sharp Centre for Design, was completed in 2004.[35][36] The design, which came out of a process of participatory design,[34][36] consists of a box four storeys off the ground supported by a series of multi-coloured pillars at different angles, often described as a tabletop.[37] The $42.5-million expansion and redevelopment has received numerous awards, including the first Royal Institute of British Architects Worldwide Award,[38][39] the award of excellence in the "Building in Context" category at the Toronto Architecture and Urban Design Awards,[40][41][42] and was deemed the most outstanding technical project overall in the 2005 Canadian Consulting Engineering Awards.[43][44][45]

Further renovations to the Main Building were followed in 2016, as a part of the Creative City Campus project, which saw the building's floor space expanded by 5,100 square metres (55,000 sq ft).[46]

The Rosalie Sharp Pavilion at Dundas Street and McCaul Street.

Rosalie Sharp Pavilion

[edit]

The Rosalie Sharp Pavilion is situated adjacent to the Main Building and is named after Rosalie Sharp, an alumna of the university.[21] In 2016, the pavilion underwent extensive renovations as a part of the university's Creative City Campus project.[46] Designed by Toronto-based architecture firm Bortolotto, the renovated exterior for the 2.5 storey building incorporated a stainless steel facade scrim that is based on a map of Toronto. The new structure is intended to act as a "gateway" into the northern part of the university's campus. The Experimental Learning Centre, the Centre for Emerging Artists and Designers, faculty offices, study areas, venue spaces, and classrooms are housed in the building.[47]

Library

[edit]

The OCAD University Library is the academic library system for the university, which carries a collection of 65,928 print monograph volumes, 76,089 electronic monograph volumes, 4,421 film and video materials, 3,284 electronic serials, 827 audio materials, and over 455,000 graphic materials.[48]

The library manages three facilities: the Dorothy H. Hoover Library, The Learning Zone, and the University Archives. The former two facilities are both located within the Annex Building, with the Dorothy H. Hoover Library relocating there in 1999 and The Learning Zone opening in 2009.[49][50] Named after the university's first head librarian, the Dorothy H. Hoover Library is a general study and research library for art and design.[49] It opened in 1987 and is a member of four library consortiums, including the Art Libraries Society of North America and the Ontario Council of University Libraries.[49] The library offers several information programs and resources to support academic research for students and faculty members.[51] The Learning Zone opened in 2009, functioning as an open study space and computer lab;[52] it also contains a small selection of zines and printed matter made by current and former students.[50] The University Archives is located in the administration building at 230 Richmond Street West.[49] The Dorothy H. Hoover Library is open to the public, whereas access to the Library Learning Zone and University Archives is restricted to the university's students and faculty, except during public events and exhibitions.[52]

Artwork on display at OCAD University's Ignite Gallery

Galleries

[edit]

There are seven galleries operated by the university that exhibit art from students, faculty, alumni, and other professional artists: the Ignite Gallery, Onsite Gallery, Graduate Gallery, The Great Hall, The Learning Zone, Ada Slaight Gallery, and the Open Space Gallery. Some of the galleries provide priority access to certain students — for example, graduate students are given priority to the Graduate Gallery and the Ada Slaight Student Gallery is mostly used by criticism and curatorial practice students to apply their education.[53] The Onsite Gallery is the university's public gallery that primarily exhibits contemporary Indigenous and Canadian art.[54] The gallery was originally called the OCAD Professional Gallery when it opened in 2007, before it changed to its current name in 2010.[53][55] Additionally, the university has a partnership with Partial Gallery to showcase and sell art from students and graduates.[56]

Sustainability

[edit]

The Sustainability Committee is a sub-committee that is charged with creating and implementing sustainable operating practices throughout the university's facilities.[57] In 2009, the university and other members from the Council of Ontario Universities signed a pledge, known as Ontario Universities Committed to a Greener World, to transform its campus into a model of environmental responsibility.[58]

Administration

[edit]

As a publicly funded university, OCAD U operates under a bicameral system with a board of governors and a senate empowered by provincial legislation, the Ontario College of Act and Design University Act.[59][60] The Act was last amended in 2010 when the institution adopted its present name. The 2010 amendments also formalized the role of the university chancellor, as well as converted the former academic council into the academic senate and broadened its duties.[61]

The university's board of governors is charged with the management of university affairs and making major operational decisions.[60] The board has 18 members, including six individuals appointed by provincial government and two members elected by OCAD University alumni. Eight members are drawn from the existing community at OCAD, with some being faculty members appointed by the Senate, and others being elected by staff and student representatives.[60][62] The senate is responsible for the educational policies of the university. The Senate is primarily made up of faculty members, although it also includes representatives from the university's administration, as well as the undergraduate and graduate student body.[60][63]

The chancellor serves as the titular head of the university and is primarily charged with the conferment of degrees. The chancellor is appointed by the board of governors to a four-year term.[60] The university has named five chancellors, the last being Jamie Watt, who began their four-year tenure on January 1, 2022.[64] The board of governors is also empowered to appoint the university president, who acts as the chief executive officer for the university and on the board's behalf with respects to the institution's operations. By virtue of their office, the president is also the chair of the senate.[60] Ana Serrano is the current president of the university, having assumed the position in July 2020.[65]

Indigenous Education Council

[edit]

The Indigenous Education Council was established at the university in 2008, with a mandate "to identify and strengthen collaboration and partnerships with Indigenous communities, government bodies and other associations to promote and advance access, retention, and degree completion for Indigenous learners".[66] The council exists "to ensure that Aboriginal people are consistently and regularly engaged in decision making within the institution".[67]

Academics

[edit]

OCAD University is a comprehensive art, design and media post-secondary institution. The university's academic year consists of two terms, Fall/Winter and Spring/Summer, the former term running from September through April and the latter running from May through August.[68]

The university is organized into the Faculty of Art, the Faculty of Liberal Arts and Science, and the Faculty of Design. As of 2022, the university offers 18 undergraduate programs and seven graduate programs.[69] Graduate programs are coordinated through the School of Graduate Studies.[70] In the 2020–21 academic year, the university had an enrolment of over 4,100 full-time undergraduate and graduate students. In the same year, there were 2,345 people enrolled in an OCAD University School of Continuing Studies course.[71] In the 2020–21 academic year, the university's faculty included 151 full-time members and 294 part-time faculty members.[72]

Undergraduate degrees conferred by the university includes Bachelor of Arts, Bachelor of Design, and Bachelor of Fine Arts. Graduate degrees issued by the university include Master of Arts, Master of Design, and Master of Fine Arts.[69][73] Quality control of academics is maintained by the Ontario University Council on Quality Assurance.[74] The university holds membership in several national and international post-secondary organizations, such as the Association of Independent Colleges of Art and Design and Universities Canada.[75][76]

Reputation

[edit]

According to the 2023 QS World University Rankings for the subject of art and design, OCAD U placed 51–100 out of 238 universities.[73]

Admissions

[edit]

The requirements for admission differ between students from Ontario, students from other provinces in Canada, and students based outside of Canada, due to the lack of uniformity in marking schemes between provinces and countries. In addition to academic requirements, the university also requires applicants whose first language is not English to present proof that they are proficient in the English language.[77] The university's undergraduate admission process includes an interview, an essay, and a portfolio submission.[72]

In 2017, the university reported a retention rate of 92.2 per cent of first-year students that advanced to their second year.[78]

Research

[edit]

As of 2022, the university has over 20 research centres and labs, such as the INVC Research Centre and the Inclusive Design Research Centre (IDRC).[79] The IDRC is a research centre focused on inclusive design and coordinates the Inclusive Design Institute.[80]

During the 2020–21 academic year, the university received over $7.2 million in contributions for research purposes.[71] As of 2022, four faculty members from the university are Canada Research Chairs. Three chairholders are part of the Social Sciences and Humanities Research Council, while the other is a part of the Natural Sciences and Engineering Research Council.[81] In the 2019–20 academic year, the university received 24 research awards and $690,625 in funding from the Social Sciences and Humanities Research Council of Canada.[82]

The university is a part of several research networks and joint-research projects, including the Centre for Innovation in Information Visualization and Data-Driven Design, and the Inclusive Design Institute. The former is a research project led by York University in partnership with OCAD, the University of Toronto, and other private sector partners to develop a new design, analytics and visualization techniques for new computational tools. The latter organization serves as a hub for research into inclusive designs for information and communications technology. The Inclusive Design Institute serves as a hub for research into inclusive designs for information and communications technology. The institute is coordinated by the IRDC and is headed by Jutta Treviranus, an OCAD University faculty member. The institute has eight partner post-secondary institutions, and is headed at OCAD University's campus.[83]

Along with research centres and labs, the university also supports two business incubators, the Imagination Catalyst and the Mobile Experience Innovation Centre. The Imagination Catalyst is coordinated through the Digital Futures Implementation office, which provides incubator support for students, alumni, and faculty, and was established in August 2011 through the merger of the Digital Futures Accelerator and the Design Incubator.[84][85] The Mobile Experience Innovation Centre is another incubator with a focus on applied research in mobile technology.[86]

In 2021, the university's student body included over 4,600 full-time and part-time undergraduate students, as well as 390 full-time and part-time graduate students.[3] At the start of the 2020–21 academic year, the student body was primarily made up of Canadians, with approximately 74.7 per cent of all OCAD students holding Canadian citizenship.[89] Many domestic students receive financial aid through the federal Canada Student Loan program, and the provincial Ontario Student Assistance Program. In the 2019–20 academic year, approximately 67 per cent of first-year full-time undergraduates received some form of financial aid. In that year, the average amount received from each recipient was $6,830.[72]

The university's student body population is represented by the OCAD Student Union (OCADSU), which is a member organization of the Canadian Federation of Students. Services provided by OCADSU include academic advocacy, legal services, and student grants.[90] In addition to OCADSU, several cultural, social, and recreational student groups are officially registered with the university.[91]

Insignias
