Fraser, Minister of Post-Secondary Educa- tion, announced that the Government of British Columbia has responded to a 35% increase in enrollment at Emily Carr College of Art and Design by granting ECCAD $1,075,000 over five years to lease 28,500 square feet within a ten minute walking distance of ECCAD’s main campus on Granville Island. “The facility was designed for 500 students, but the Col- lege now has more than 675 regular students and does not have the studio space to accommodate increasing requests from the community for evening and summer classes. We are confident that the leased space will relieve pressure on faculty and students and open .opportunities for Lower Mainland residents, ” Mr. Fraser said. Painting students are expected to move into the new space by mid-October. The shift will enable the College to address competing demands for additional space for art his- tory lecture rooms, graphic design studios, audio-visual and computer facilities. The College anticipates easing pressure in some areas that have had to restrict enrollment due to space constraints. The leased facilities, located at 1600-1636 West First, formerly housed a commercial film processing firm. The leased space will accommodate second, third and fourth year painting students and will provide 10 faculty offices.’ Several flexible studio spaces will be used for drawing and will give the community more opportunity to access ECCAD studio programs through the evening and summer programs. The College has taken a 5 year lease on the facility, re- newable for two five year periods. Mr Fraser further announced a $70,000 grant to under- take improvements in the College’s ventilation system necessitated by the large increase in enrollment. The supplementary grant will enable ECCAD to meet Worker Compensation Board standards in the main lecture . hall, designed for 75 but now accomodating twice that number, and make similar changes in lithography and graphic design studios and in the audio visual area. “We are pleased that the Government of British Colum- bia has been able to assist the College of Art and make changes that will improve lecture and studio conditions for students and faculty,” said Mr. Fraser in making the an- ' nouncement.
