Grant: Technology Access Centre
Sir Sandford Fleming College of Applied Arts and Technology
$454,421.00
Centre for Advancement of Water and Wastewater Technologies (Renewal)
EF 2024-25
Résumé
Established in 2002, Fleming College’s Centre for Advancement of Water and Wastewater Technologies (CAWT), formerly the Centre for Alternative Wastewater Treatment, is the college’s research centrepiece. Designated a Technology Access Centre (TAC) in 2014, the CAWT actively provides research and development services to the full spectrum of water and wastewater technology companies.
To our knowledge, the CAWT is the only Canadian college water research centre with ISO/IEC 17025:2017 accreditation. With an impressive suite of analytical instruments, customized facilities, and talented experts in water and wastewater, the CAWT is sought after by industry, government, and academia. While primarily focused on supporting the water and wastewater industries with valuable R&D services, over the last five years the CAWT has also expanded its work to include services relevant to other key sectors and industries, including mining, breweries, aquaculture, and advanced manufacturing. The CAWT has also created a unique full-scale wastewater treatment testing and research site, directly filling a need in the provincial marketplace.
Being proactive in adapting and increasing their services to meet the changing needs of partners has been a consistent mandate at the CAWT and remains one of the reasons why it has successfully operated for twenty years. Over the next five years, through new strategic collaborations and more in-demand fee-for-service offerings, the CAWT will have a significant effect on many of Canada's innovative sectors. This five-year plan has been validated by gathered network intelligence, stakeholder surveys, and recommendations from the CAWT's Advisory Board.
As a renewed TAC, the CAWT will carry out strategic activities that take full advantage of its uniqueness, reputation, and agility, to improve its operations, grow its reach, and achieve consistent sources of revenue – while continuing to help their partners innovate, and while delivering quality training and experiential learning to its student researchers.
