On March 30, 2007, Cambrian College received $50,000 from the Ontario government through the Northern Ontario Heritage Fund Corporation (NOHFC). The funds will be put toward the first phase of Cambrian's plan to establish a Sustainable Energy Centre at the College's Barrydowne campus. Sudbury MPP Rick Bartolucci also announced $2.6 million in provincial funding that will be used to enhance Cambrian's labs and shops, to repair buildings, and to convert the existing library into a new state-of-the-art Learning Commons. 

"We are in the business of people - our students need to learn in facilities that are cutting edge and industry-relevant so that they are workplace ready when they leave us." Sylvia Barnard, President, Cambrian College.

"Our ability to think creatively is our greatest asset  - and it is our collective and individual vision that has made these projects a reality." Rick Bartolucci, Northern Development and Mines Minister
