Campus Information
Ottawa
A college campus should be designed around student needs. It should include the facilities — from public busing to affordable, healthy food services — that make student life efficient, worry-free, and productive. Students have varied interests and needs. That’s why the Ottawa campus of Algonquin accommodates a diverse range of requirements. A college campus should be setup to encourage discussion, with students enriching each other’s experience, providing friendship, support and offering a special way to learn.
Ottawa Valley Pembroke Campus
Imagine a college where you can eat your lunch along the shores of the Ottawa River or stroll through parkland walkways between classes. It would be hard to find a college campus anywhere in Canada more beautifully situated than our Pembroke waterfront campus. In November 2012, a new, $36-million campus officially opened, offering sixteen full-time programs, plus apprenticeship, academic upgrading and continuing education courses. With small classes and experienced instructors, the campus promises you outstanding learning opportunities.
