Mission -
The Rogers Communications Centre, a part
of Ryerson University, has become Canada's premiere
facility for degrees, research and professional
development in the fields of electronic media
and digital communications. New Media at the Rogers
Centre is about converging interactive communications
and technologies: with the schools of Journalism,
Radio and Television Arts, Image Arts, and Professional Communications converging in one facility, the many aspects
of digital communication—aural and visual, art
and science, student and professional—all meet
in a dynamic hub of design, research, and activity.Click here to read more about our Mission. 
History - Having opened in 1992 the Rogers Communications
Centre has had remarkable impact on both the fields
of communications and education. In 1986, the
idea for the RCC took root when a formal proposal
was submitted to the Province Of Ontario by (then)
Ryerson Polytechnical Institute to build a new
four story building which was to house Ryerson's
communications and media programs.
