Georgian is raising $2.5 million through its Power of Education campaign to help fund the building of the Centre for Sustainable Technologies, and thanks to donation from donors from the utilities and construction sectors, construction on the facility proceeded and the doors opened this fall. Georgian is now focused on raising the remaining dollars needed to meet the fundraising goal. There are a number opportunities for donors to have naming rights in the facility and custom recognition opportunities. Please contact Georgian’s Manager of Resource Development, Rebbeca Truax, at 728-1968, ext. 5446 for more information.

What is the Centre for Sustainable Technologies? Roads, bridges, sewers, buildings, lights and even the vehicle you drive – technicians and technologists play a role in creating almost every basic service used in daily life. At Georgian College, the Centre for Sustainable Technologies will be where these professionals will receive quality education in a new leading-edge environment with modern technologies, and industry-developed curriculum. There is a great need for more of these highly skilled graduates for the power generation and construction fields, where skills shortages are expected. With this new facility, now open, Georgian will be able to continue to increase enrolment in the electrical program and a newly created civil technology program, ensure the best possible academic environment for students, and provide industries with more skilled workers for their hiring pools now and into the future.
