The Alberta College of Art and Design (ACAD) is located in Calgary on the North Hill overlooking the Bow River and the downtown skyline, in a 245,000 square foot (23,000 m²) building designed to house the college in 1973. ACAD's close proximity to downtown and The University of Calgary, via the C-Train (Calgary's light rail transit) provides students with easy access to the city's galleries, museums and cultural events. Current President and CEO of ACAD is Lance Carlson. The Alberta College of Art & Design is one of only four degree-granting, publicly-funded Art & Design colleges in Canada, the others being the Emily Carr Institute of Art & Design in Vancouver, the Ontario College of Art & Design in Toronto and the Nova Scotia College of Art & Design in Halifax.
