The college developed green space in 2009 to accommodate other significant projects including the Sadlon Centre for Health, Wellness and Sciences. The Georgian College Students' Association is funding the development of the field (see story on page 25), which will replace the northeast baseball diamond. It will have rugby, soccer and football markings. Academic programs with fitness training requirements will also use the field, and it will be accessible to community groups and sports teams. G eorgian now has 1,100 international students from 60 countries, nearly three times as many as in 2005. Such rapid growth has created the need for a larger, more student service-focused international centre. guard.me International Insurance, a long-time Georgian supporter, announced it will donate $400,000 to renovate and expand the centre to 5,000 square feet. It will house advising and counselling services, recruitment, housing, insurance, study visa/work permit support and the English for Academic Purposes program. It will also have a student lounge space. Construction will begin this spring.
