Canadore College and Nipissing University are pleased to announce the groundbreaking of the new Learning Library.

A short ceremony took place on August 14 onsite between the Education Centre and the Robert J. Surtees Student Athletics Centre.

The $25 million Learning Library facility will be a significant investment to the North Bay area. The library will be an asset to the students and will increase the region's connectivity and infrastructure.

The new facility will be twice the size of the current library and provide the spaces, tools, and resources required to support the needs of a diverse student and faculty population.
