Our Facilities

Through her estate, Marilyn Walker – known for her passion for the arts and for the Niagara community before her passing in 2015 – gifted Niagara College with $1 million for its visual arts and technology programming areas.

The Marilyn I. Walker Centre of Excellence in Visual Arts and Technology includes several upgrades and renovations to our School, as well as new resources and equipment. A newly renovated collaborative space on the third floor of the Simcoe building – complete with a state-of-the-art video wall – marks the first of a four-phase project for the new Centre. Future phases will include the enhancement of four other classrooms; a resource room which includes new equipment such as printers, 3D printers, and a die cutting machine; an upgraded client project room between two game design classrooms; new photographic equipment to support the Graphic Design program; and a classic studio with screen printing equipment and more. A ‘gear cage’ in our new Photography space has also opened the door for a consignment agreement with Nikon Canada, who will be equipping the cage on a rotational basis with their flagship DSLR and mirrorless cameras, and with a wide range of prime lenses.
