Lambton College giving prospective students first look at new residence

Lambton College will give prospective students the first look at its new residence building at its open house this Saturday.

The college will welcome potential students and their families to come see what the school has to offer.

"This is your best day to see the school. Talk to our coordinators who run these programs. See the labs in person and start to define what some of these options might be for you," said Future Student Advisor Brady Chambers.

The college has been working on its new residence building since 2025 and it's expected to be move-in ready for the 2027 fall semester.

"It can be a daunting moment to show up to a college that you haven't been to before, especially on a busy day like this, but it is by far the most welcoming day to do that," said Chambers. "You can expect to see people standing in the hallways in front of their program banners, and those people are professors and coordinators within those programs."

Information sessions will be held throughout the day, and students who would like to take a look at the fire school can take a shuttle to the LaSalle Line site.

"We recommend heading to the main campus, hopping on a shuttle. We'll take you out to the fire school, bring you back, and you'll get to see one of North America's largest live field fire training facilities," Chambers said.

Any students looking to apply to any programs are also in luck, as Lambton College will cover your application fee if at least one of the programs you apply to is at Lambton.

"To apply to any school in Ontario, you have to go through Ontario Colleges. They charge $150. But if we are one of your choices, of which you have five in total, we will cover that fee for you," said Chambers.

The free open house runs from 10 a.m. until 2 p.m. on Saturday, November 14.
