Getting around campus

Wildfire smoke has become an increasingly familiar part of Canadian summers, affecting communities thousands of kilometres from the fires themselves. While hazy skies and poor air quality are often temporary, Ontario Tech University researchers are examining how some health effects can persist long after the smoke clears.

Ontario Tech University is entering its next phase of growth, with a focus on giving students more opportunities to learn by doing, connect with one another and make the most of campus life.

The Centre for Designing Change and Ontario Tech University have launched PACE Ontario, the first provincial hub in Canada's national Physical AI Centre of Excellence network. The partnership will help Canadian organizations develop, test, and adopt physical AI technologies, including robotics, automation, and advanced manufacturing, while building future-ready talent and industrial capacity across the country.

For the third year in a row, 15 master's and PhD students from across Ontario Tech University’s graduate programs travelled to Canadian Nuclear Laboratories (CNL) in Chalk River, Ontario, to participate in the Graduate Immersive Experience offered through CNL’s Academic Partnership Program.
