Over the years, the Academy’s programs have achieved a strong reputation for developing hands-on, industry-relevant skills and competencies for the interior design, fashion and media industries. Today, the Academy of Design is part of the family of RCC programs, thereby expanding the Institute’s offerings, encouraging convergence between design and technology education and advancing the Institute’s mission.
In 2009, RCC acquired the assets of Yorkville College, adding programs in dental health, paralegal and community studies to its program offerings and establishing its Davisville Campus in downtown Toronto.
