The Centennial College of Applied Arts and Technology is a public college in Toronto, Ontario, Canada. It is the oldest publicly funded college in Ontario.[2] Its campuses are situated on the east side of the city, particularly in Scarborough,[2] with an aerospace centre at Downsview Park in North York.[3]

Centennial College has been recognized as a culturally diverse post-secondary institution; almost 100 ethno-cultural groups are represented and 80 languages are spoken on campus.[2] Its main research facilities are its Wearable, Interactive and Mobile Technologies Access Centre in Healthcare, established in 2015 through a $1.75 million federal grant[4] and its aerospace innovation hub, under construction at the former de Havilland plant in west-end Toronto.[5]
