Market, is a unique and yet comfortable space. Laid out in
the traditional "New York School" studio style,
students have access seven days a week to the equipment, computers,

produce high-end work.
The SPAO facility has:
- A multi-format darkroom (including a 10 x 10 enlarger), for both silver gelatin and alternative printmaking
- A wet-dry daylight production and mounting area
- A state-of-the-art ink jet printmaking facility including large format printers, drum scanner, flatbed scanners and fully calibrated monitors

- Equipment storage and loan pool
- Student lockers
- Reference library

The facility is designed to accommodate a student body of 24 full-time students with additional part-time students attending workshops and continuing education classes. Accessible seven days a week, the full time students have extended use of the darkroom, computer labs and studio spaces.
Instructors are on site on a regular basis with full-time office hours outside of scheduled lectures to allow for one-on-one consultation at every stage of image and portfolio production.
Gallery and exhibition spaces showcase the work of our students and show photographic collections curated by students and
faculty.
SPAO is within walking distance of the Canadian Museum of Contemporary Photography, the National Archives, the National Gallery of Canada, Arts Court, the Ottawa School of Art and many commercial and public gallery spaces.
