Carleton’s recent campus improvements include a new athletics centre, as well as the Human Computer Interaction Institute Facility and the Centre for Advanced Studies in Visualization and Simulation. In addition, plans are underway for two new state-of-the-art buildings to be completed in 2009-10. One of the buildings will face the Rideau River and house many of our leading programs including public administration and journalism. The second building will house innovative engineering and science programs including aerospace engineering and biomedical engineering. Carleton University is led by Dr. Roseann O’Reilly Runte, a dynamic president and French scholar. Under her leadership, Carleton will continue to grow and enhance its reputation.
