Cambrian College today opened its Library and Learning Commons. This $2.5 million expansion reflects some of the newest and most progressive directions in the evolution of the traditional library.

The Library and Learning Commons, which is now over 20,000 square feet in size, is the College’s hub for information, study, research, and out-of-classroom learning. It provides an environment where users can access traditional library resources, technologically-advanced learning tools, and both group and individual study spaces.

“When this project was initiated, we listened closely to the needs that were identified by our students and addressed these as part of the renovations,” said Cambrian College President Sylvia Barnard. “This facility supports the educational experience of Cambrian students, ensuring that they have access to a wide variety of materials that will help to enhance the knowledge they gain through their programs.”

The Library and Learning Commons is a bright, strategically-designed space that facilitates access to information and provides support to the research and studying aspects of the learning environment. The additional space, combined with the renovations that comprised the project, has allowed Cambrian to integrate some strategic leaning support services with both traditional and new directions.
