Algonquin College to celebrate grand opening and official naming of new Courtyard and Indigenous spaces
Posted on Monday, December 10th, 2018
Algonquin College is preparing to celebrate the grand opening and official naming of its new Courtyard and Indigenous spaces on Monday, Dec. 10.
Located in the College’s state-of-the-art DARE District, these facilities were the final phase of construction on a $44.9-million space that promotes new, experiential ways of learning to connect students and their research with the Indigenous, business and local communities.
“This celebration has been more than two years in the making,” said Algonquin College President Cheryl Jensen. “These new areas will provide our students with even more space to actively study and learn, and we are especially proud that, through their atmosphere, architecture, and design we are taking important steps forward on our journey to Truth and Reconciliation.”
The areas to be officially named will include a large Indigenous gathering circle and outdoor classroom, the Indigenous Learning Commons, an Institute of Indigenization and a dedicated space within the new third-floor library of the DARE District.
