Formerly: Centre for Innovative Teaching (CIT)
The Hickman Building gives professors the opportunity to study
teaching — both their own and the teaching of others. “Smart” classrooms
wired for multiple closed-circuit TV cameras and remote projection
systems links teachers and students in the building with other
campus classrooms and beyond.
The building, completed in 1999, contains two main 200- and 75-seat classrooms, both
equipped for distance education broadcasts, and has the capacity
for two further 25-seat classrooms. A seminar room, configured
to act as an extension of the lobby, can double as a reception
area for on-site teaching conferences.
 Dr. W. Harry Hickman (1909 - 1997) began his teaching career at Victoria High School in 1932 before shifting his attention to post-secondary education. Hickman became president of UVic's predecessor Victoria College and was the first acting president of UVic upon its creation in 1963. A strong believer in art and culture, Hickman founded the university art collection. He was the head of UVic's modern languages and French departments before his retirement in 1974.
