Carleton University will update and modernize its classrooms and enhance AI Literacy across campus amongst faculty, staff and students thanks to $1 million in funding from the Government of Ontario.
The investment from the province’s Training Equipment and Renewal Fund (TERF) will improve learning spaces at Carleton and allow the university to acquire new educational technology, including AI tools and equipment that enhance AI literacy and hands-on learning.
By leveraging the latest technology and state-of-the-art learning spaces, the project will support leading-edge research and curriculum innovation, while equipping learners with digital literacy skills to prepare them for in-demand careers.
The classroom upgrades will happen over the summer and be ready in fall 2026.
This marks Carleton’s fifth consecutive successful application to TERF, totaling more than $4.25 million in funding over the last five years. Previous TERF funds have supported the creation of the Future Learning Lab, the Experiential Learning Hub, Indigenous Virtual Learning Spaces (wa’ötši’gwa:to’ (she dropped in for a short while) and Tsi tewateriweiastáhkwa (a place where we learn)) and helped equip Carleton’s nursing program with advanced high-fidelity simulation, XR resources and learning aids.
