The dust is starting to settle. Students have moved in and on Tuesday, September 14, Lethbridge College marked the grand opening of Kodiak House.
The five-storey residence contains 109 low-cost, dormitory-style rooms, raising by 25 per cent the number of students the college can house on campus.
“Kodiak House complements our two existing residences to allow us to offer our learners a multitude of accommodation options,” says Dr. Tracy Edwards, Lethbridge College president and CEO. “They can choose one that best fits their living preferences and learning styles.”
Our facilities bring together 549 students from diverse cultural backgrounds. Campus living provides them with the opportunity to experience other cultures in a spirit of co-operation and understanding. It’s a spin-off benefit that meets the college’s goal of producing graduates with a global view, enhancing the student experience.
Lethbridge College has secured more than 90 per cent of the funding, including $2 million provided by the City of Lethbridge. The final $1 million will be raised through a community campaign with the Alumni Advisory Council.
