Georgian College

Education for the future means teaching students to become creative problem-solvers — innovators who use academic scholarship, applied skills and critical reasoning to contribute to their workplaces and communities. Under the Lakehead-Georgian plan, students will gain an incredible edge. A combined education will open up many doors as they launch or advance meaningful careers right here in Central Ontario. Our tailored programs will drive economic development and meet local needs. They will include the region's first engineering degrees, in-demand health care degrees, Ontario's first marine degree and many other exciting options. COMBINING THE BEST OF COLLEGE AND UNIVERSITY BUILDING ON EXISTING INFRASTRUCTURE With room to grow and exceptional facilities at both Georgian and Lakehead's campuses, we can deliver a comprehensive university experience to more degree students with no additional bricks and mortar required in the first few years. Campus infrastructure already includes combined facilities worth $540 million and covering more than 196 acres. We've got the classrooms, labs, videoconferencing technology and student spaces (restaurants, residence buildings, athletic centres and more) needed to accommodate up to 2,000 more students right away. In the future, we'd expand to include a new design and visual arts building in downtown Barrie — along with an entrepreneurship hub and incubator — and a new Centre for Advanced Technology at the Barrie Campus.
