Examples of faculty work can be found throughout Canada and abroad. Visiting lecturers and critics from all over the world plus a wide range of exhibitions in the School Gallery supplement the academic program during the school year. There are presently about 75 students in years two through five. Student backgrounds are diverse but central is the concern for the environment and its design, management, and preservation. Our accomodations and some courses are shared with the Program in Architecture in a building which is open 24 hours a day and contains an extensive library, workshop, computer labs and photographic facilities.
Student life centres around the studio.
A place and way of teaching which is uniquely personal and cooperative. The studio is project based and integrates knowledge aquired in university courses. Students value the personal space, individual attention, and the informal atmosphere the studio provides. Numerous student activities are wedged into the Program. Student-run sports and social activities augment University lectures, concerts, plays, varsity sports, exhibitions, and celebrations.
