history
Carleton was founded in 1942 as Ontario's first non-denominational private university . It is named after the then Carleton County , which included Ottawa.
After World War II , Carleton grew strongly due to returning soldiers and was converted into a state university by the Carleton University Act in 1952 .
The former Prime Minister and Nobel Peace Prize Laureate Lester Pearson was Chancellor of the university from 1969 until his death in 1972, after he had previously held a professorship there; a bar on campus is still named after him today.
In 1971, a team described by American-Canadian scientists around the mineralogists and crystallographers Professor George Y. Chao from Carleton University, a new mineral and named it after the university where it was first discovered and investigated, as Carletonit .

campus
Carleton has had a campus on the banks of the Rideau Canal since 1969 . In addition to the buildings for teaching and research, it includes eleven dormitory buildings , which are named after (some of the former) counties of Eastern Ontario, a cafeteria, several cafes and pubs , and extensive sports facilities. Almost all the buildings are by a five- kilometers -long tunnel system connected. This enables students and staff to reach almost any location on campus protected from the weather.
The campus is bounded to the west and north by the Rideau Canal, to the east by Bronson Avenue and to the south by the Rideau River . A railway line that is used by the Trillium Line of the O-Train runs through the middle . In addition to the O-Train stop, the campus is also served by several OC Transpo bus routes. The campus area forms a district within the Capital / Capitale district . The surrounding neighborhoods are The Glebe in the north and northeast, Old Ottawa South in the east (also in the Capital Ward), Confederation Heights in the south, Rideauview in the southwest, the Central Experimental Farm in the west (in each case the River / Rivière district ) and Dows Lake in the northwest ( Capital Ward ).
Sports
The teams of the Carleton Ravens play mostly in the East Division of the Ontario University Athletics within the Canadian Interuniversity Sport (the women's team in ice hockey plays in the Réseau du sport étudiant du Québec ). Local rivals of the Ravens are the Gee-Gees of the University of Ottawa . The basketball team , which has won the national title several times in recent years, is particularly successful . In 2013, after a break of several years, a new football team started playing.
Particularly important games, e.g. B. against the Ottawa Gee-Gees, are usually played in larger venues off campus (z. B. Canadian Tire Center or TD Place Stadium ) to accommodate the larger crowd. Conversely, the university's Keith Harris Stadium was used as a home ground by the football franchise Ottawa Fury in the 2014 spring season .
