A new Lambton College campus in Ottawa will begin welcoming post-graduate students in 2024.
The Sarnia-based school has teamed up with Ottawa's Saint Paul University (SPU) to launch the Lambton College Centre for Graduate Studies, or Lambton Ottawa.
The public-to-public collaboration will see Lambton lease space on SPU’s campus to deliver international graduate certificate programs.
In a media release, college President and CEO Rob Kardas said it's the school's first collaboration of this kind.
“This is an opportunity for Lambton College to provide a robust, supportive, academically strong student experience in a vibrant international education market, while contributing to the long-term financial stability of our college," said Kardas. “Ottawa is a large, multicultural community that will appreciate the types of programs we will offer, and the talented post-graduate students we bring in."
Lambton Ottawa will act as a third Lambton College campus, in addition to Sarnia main campus and the fire school. The college said unlike its existing partnerships in Mississauga and Toronto, this latest collaboration will be fully managed and operated by Lambton.
Kardas said Lambton has been exploring expansion opportunities for the past 12 months, and after assessing multiple sites and locations, SPU proved to be an ideal collaborator.
