Our Fountain Campus (5163 Duke Street) is housed in the Historic Properties district, adjacent to the scenic boardwalks of Halifax Harbour. The Victorian terrace-style campus – the only one of its kind in North America – is an interconnected row of 19 former merchant shops and warehouses bounded by Hollis and Duke Streets and the cobblestone Granville pedestrian terrace. Full of character and many mysterious nooks and stairwells, the interiors are open, rugged and hospitable, and have adapted well to varied needs.
 

It’s hard to imagine a university campus with more character than our historic Fountain Campus—it’s a National Historic Site of Canada after all. Set near the Halifax boardwalk, the campus encompasses an entire city block of Victorian terrace-style buildings that were once an interconnected row of 19 merchant shops and warehouses. Inside you will find plenty of mysterious nooks and stairwells, open interiors and modern studio spaces, as well as the Anna Leonowens Gallery and many other student favourites. If you are looking for a place where your imagination can run wild, this is it.

What will I see at the Fountain Campus?

Painting, Drawing, Printmaking, Screenprinting, Textiles, Fashion, Photography, Design, Letterpress and more!
