[5] In 2007, St. Clair College expanded to downtown Windsor by purchasing the former City of Windsor owned Cleary International Centre, renaming it St. Clair College Centre for the Arts. [6] In 2009, St. Clair College bought the former City of Windsor owned Salvation Army building in downtown Windsor for $1. With a $5 million grant from the federal government, the building was turned into a state of the art journalism school; the first of its kind in Canada. In 2014, St. Clair College built a new sports complex at the main campus, called the SportsPlex.[ citation needed ][ tone ]

History

The college has its roots in the Western Ontario Institute of Technology, founded in 1958 to supplement the then-Ryerson Institute in Toronto, now Toronto Metropolitan University. With the advent of the Colleges of Applied Arts and Technology, St. Clair was founded in 1966; the two institutions were merged a year later. Growth of the college has generally paralleled that of Windsor. Colleges of Applied Arts and Technology were established on May 21, 1965. It is an Ontario College of Applied Arts and Technology. The school was founded in 1966 as part of a provincial initiative to create many such institutions to provide career-oriented diploma and certificate courses, as well as continuing education programs to Ontario communities. [7]

In 2018 annual college revenue sat at roughly $150 million. By 2021-22 St. Clair College's student headcount of international students exceeded domestic students. [8] The unprecedented growth in international student enrolment has not been met with a corresponding increase in student housing at St. Clair College. [9] By 2024 annual college revenue was over $300 million with more than $200 million coming from foreign student tuition. [10] Student-led protest claimed the college was issuing failing grades to increase tuition. [11]
