city of orillia confirms contribution to lakehead's permanent orillia campus
阿根廷vs墨西哥竞猜 president dr. fred gilbert is relieved and pleased that the deal has been confirmed. "had these arrangements not been finalized last night, progress, timing, and the many details in between would have been delayed even further. now, we can continue to move forward with the planning, and achieving our goal of breaking ground at the horne farm this spring."
gilbert said the project progress was delayed by approximately eight months while waiting for the ontario realty corporation to indicate whether or not the huronia regional centre, the university's first choice, would become available as a prospective site for the permanent campus.
lakehead hopes to open the first phase of the campus by the fall of 2009. dr. kim fedderson, dean of lakehead's orillia campus, is delighted with the city's generous commitment. "the first phase of our three-phase project will establish a campus capable of meeting the academic needs of up to 1,500 世界杯2022赛程表淘汰赛 , and will also provide those 世界杯2022赛程表淘汰赛 with the full array of services and amenities typically associated with university life. the 85 acres the city is providing will allow the university to assist in meeting the needs of a growing student population in southern ontario. interestingly, the horne farm is almost the same size as 阿根廷vs墨西哥竞猜 's thunder bay campus, which currently accommodates over 7,700 世界杯2022赛程表淘汰赛 . meeting the growing demand for access to university here may well mean that phase three will become a reality sooner rather than later."
orillia council has agreed to hold a public information session, at which details of the arrangement with the university will be presented and lakehead will provide information on its academic, business, and site planning for the new campus. this will be coordinated by the city's economic development committee, though a date has yet to be set.
