Students’ Association

Based upon years of experience, ongoing student consultations, plenty of unsolicited feedback, and a comprehensive student survey, the number one problem facing students at the Woodroffe Campus is the lack of student space.”

– Excerpt from letter to the Algonquin College Board of Governors from the President of the Students’ Association

Recognizing the need for more student space, and a combined commitment to student success, the Algonquin Students’ Association worked with College administration to develop a vision for a Student Commons, providing students with a unique space that would become the social hub, or heart, of the Woodroffe Campus.

The Commons will better serve the broader student community by offering new and improved facilities, a wider variety of events, while bringing into one location many of the Students’ Association and College student support services.

The building will be wired to support the “learning anywhere” initiative.

Unique to most Ontario colleges, the Algonquin College Students’ Association operates many College services, ranging from the varsity athletics to the Algonquin Fitness Zone, a leading fitness facility in the City of Ottawa.
