Emily Carr University of Art + Design (abbreviated as ECU) is a publicartuniversity located in Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada. The university's campus is located within the Great Northern Way Campus in Strathcona. The university is a co-educational institution that operates four academic faculties: the Faculty of Culture + Community, the Ian Gillespie Faculty of Design + Dynamic Media, the Audian Faculty of Art, and the Jake Kerr Faculty of Graduate Studies.
Formally established as the Vancouver School of Decorative and Applied Arts in 1925, the school was renamed three times throughout the 20th century: the Vancouver School of Art in 1933, the Emily Carr College of Art and Design in 1978, and the Emily Carr Institute of Art + Design in 1995. The institution's namesake derives from Canadian artist and writer Emily Carr, who was known for her Modernist and Post-Impressionist artworks. In 2008, the school was designated as a special purpose teaching university under the province's University Act.
Emily Carr is one of the oldest post-secondary institutions in British Columbia and the only one dedicated to professional education in the arts, media, and design. In 1978, ECU was designated a provincial institute before moving to Granville Island in 1980, where it would later open a second building on its campus in 1995. Around the same year, ECU was granted authority to offer its own undergraduate degrees (BFA and BDes) and honorary degrees (honorary Doctor of Letters (D.Litt.), Doctor of Laws (D.Laws), and Doctor of Technology (D.Technology)). The first graduate program was added in 2003 (MFA) and would later expand to include the Master of Applied Arts (MAA) in 2006, the Master of Digital Media (MDM) in 2007, and the Master of Design in 2013 (MDes). The MDM program in particular is a professional graduate program that was launched through the Centre for Digital Media, a campus consortium of four post-secondary institutions in British Columbia. Currently, Emily Carr is located at the Great Northern Way Campus after relocating from Granville Island in September 2017. The new campus sits on a former industrial site within the Mount Pleasant neighbourhood of East Vancouver.[3]
Emily Carr Institute of Art and Design's arms, supporters, flag, and badge were registered with the Canadian Heraldic Authority on April 20, 2007.[4] On April 28, 2008, the Provincial Government announced that it would amend the University Act at the Legislative Assembly of British Columbia and recognize Emily Carr Institute of Art and Design as a full university, which would be named Emily Carr University of Art + Design.[5] The university began its operation under its current name on September 1, 2008.[6]
CampusEdit
Cafeteria at Emily Carr University.
The university's campus is located within a four-storey 26,600 square metres (286,320 sq ft) building in Strathcona, Vancouver.[7] Designed by Diamond Schmitt Architects and completed by EllisDon in 2017, the building houses student commons spaces, exhibition spaces, studios, and three lecture theatres.[8] The exterior facade of the building has white metal panels and glass reminiscent of a blank canvas, as well as back-painted glass spandrel panels to evoke a sequence of colours and transitions.[8] The building's colour palette was selected by faculty members in honour of Canadian painter Emily Carr. In addition, several First Nations design elements were incorporated into the design of the building.[8]
The building forms a part of the larger Great Northern Way Campus, a 7.5 hectares (18.5 acres) multi-use property that is shared with four other post-secondary institutions through the Great Northern Way Trust. Emily Carr University, along with the British Columbia Institute of Technology, Simon Fraser University, and the University of British Columbia, are all equal shareholders in the trust. The Great Northern Way Campus also houses facilities used by the other three post-secondary institutions.[9]
