Centre for Applied Science and Technology opens
Charlottetown, PE - The new $17 million Holland College Centre for Applied Science and Technology opened today and will be ready to accept students for the 2011-12 school year.
Premier Robert Ghiz and Minister of National Revenue Gail Shea joined Holland College President Brian McMillan for ceremonies marking the completion of the CAST building on the college's Prince of Wales Campus in downtown Charlottetown.
"With more than 50,000 square feet of new space and improved facilities for teaching students in fields that range from paramedicine to bioscience, the new Centre for Applied Science and Technology will be a welcome addition - not just to the Holland College campus, but to the entire downtown core of Charlottetown," said Premier Ghiz."I look forward to seeing this facility draw top-level students and instructors to the heart of our province's capital."
"Investing in science and research is vital to Canada's future economic growth," said Minister Shea. "Our government's support for new research and academic facilities has created jobs, while giving researchers and students the tools they need to become the best in the world."
"None of this would have been possible without the continued support of our Federal and Provincial partners," said Holland College President Dr. Brian McMillan. "They understand the importance of providing meaningful educational opportunities for residents of Prince Edward Island. And they understand that, in order for our province to thrive economically, we need to ensure that we are competitive in a global marketplace."
The Centre for Applied Science and technology was funded with $8.5 million from the Province of Prince Edward Island and $8.5 million from the federal Knowledge Infrastructure Partnership.
The CAST centre enables the college to double student intake in the Bioscience Technology, Construction Technology, Environmental Applied Science Technology, and Wildlife Conservation Technology programs, as well as to increase intakes in Practical Nursing, and Paramedicine, and to establish new programs in Heritage Retrofit Carpentry and Energy Systems Engineering Technology.
The CAST building incorporates green technology in its construction, and will be a "living laboratory" in which students can study the various systems incorporated into the building's design.
