Building Futures for Students,
Employers and Communities

The Niagara College (NC) Foundation has launched the Building Futures Campaign, with a goal of $16.5 million to support the College's $90 million Master plan to transform NC to prepare for its next 40 years. The plan will accommodate dramatic enrolment growth and help the Niagara region meet the challenges that come with a changing economy and an urgent need for highly skilled workers.

The Master Plan

is enhancing the Niagara-on-the-Lake campus and transforming the Welland campus by replacing and expanding aging buildings with improved facilities and new technology to create more than 2,000 new spaces in programs, where labour is in high demand in Niagara: skilled trades and technology, health, community services, hospitality, culinary and tourism. This project will significantly impact economic development in the Niagara Region.

Included in the Master Plan is a strategy for the sustainability and naturalization of the Welland campus. By utilizing new building technologies and executing a comprehensive landscape plan, the Welland campus will become a vibrant urban recreational park enjoyed by the entire community. It will also serve as a living lab for students to learn about innovative horticulture and environmental technologies. Niagara College’s plan is also investing in human capital through scholarships and bursaries, applied research projects, and equipment and learning resources.
