Centennial HP Science and Technology Centre

Centennial College of Applied Arts and Technology is the oldest College of Applied Arts and Technology in Ontario, founded in 1966. It is located in Toronto, Ontario, Canada; its four campuses are situated to serve the eastern portion of the Greater Toronto Area. Recently (especially after implementing the banner system) registering for classes has been extremely difficult for students. This is creating huge lineups of students waiting to see course coordinators. Things like, not offering all classes needed to graduate, online registration bugged, and offering classes to students yet not having a teacher assigned to the class (even serveral weeks into the semester) are all common problems the average student can run into.

Centennial College is recognized as one of the most culturally diverse post-secondary institutions in Ontario. Almost 100 ethno-cultural groups are represented and 80 languages are spoken on campus. It offers more than 100 applied degree, diploma and certificate programs on a full- and part-time basis in business, communication arts, community and consumer services, engineering technology, health and transportation. A publicly funded college, Centennial supports enrolments of 12,000 full-time students and 30,000 part-time learners annually.

Its first campus, in the Warden Woods neighbourhood, closed in autumn of 2004. A new campus, known as the Centennial HP Science and Technology Centre, opened in its place in the Morningside Avenue-Ellesmere Road area. Existing campuses are located near Markham Road and Highway 401 (Progress); the Warden Avenue-Eglinton Avenue area (Ashtonbee); and in the Danforth neighbourhood on Carlaw Avenue (The Centre for Creative Communications).

The Centre for Creative Communications is the college's home for its award-winning school of Communications, Media and Design. Nate Horowitz is the Dean of the Centre for Creative Communications and Paul Koidis is a well known media guru, faculty member and Manager of Communications, Marketing and Development. Television buffs may know The Centre for Creative Communications doubled as the location of the Canadian TV teen drama Degrassi High in the early 1990s.
