Located in the nation's capital, Algonquin College's main campus is 15 minutes away from everything. National parks, museums and galleries, Canada's largest high-tech community, and the Rideau Canal are all minutes from one of the most well equipped and largest college campuses in the country. Algonquin College of Applied Arts and Technology was established in 1967 and is located on the unceded territory of the Algonquin People, after whom the College was named.

The College has served over 50 years as a leader in post-secondary education and has undergone significant growth since its establishment. Algonquin College Campuses include Ottawa, Perth, Pembroke and Online. The Ottawa Campus features an innovative award-winning trades building (Algonquin Centre for Construction Excellence), a first-of-its-kind Student Commons building, the DARE (Discovery, Applied Research, and Entrepreneurship) District which includes the College's library and learning centre, an Indigenous Commons and a MakerSpace that allows students to get their hands on the latest technology. Most recently, The Algonquin Students' Association completed construction of the Jack Doyle Athletics and Recreation Centre. This building provides students with the space they need to meet and exceed their fitness and recreation goals, as well as offer new challenges and experiences. The centre features gyms, a restaurant, rock climbing, bowling, an inside track, billiards, a golf simulator and more.

Algonquin College is leading the way in personalized and experiential learning.

Ask our students why they chose Algonquin and they will be quick to tell you it's the hands-on skills and career focus they gain from learning in realistic lab and classroom environments. By the time our students graduate, they are ready to take on the work world, and are sought out by employers in every industry.
