[edit] Programs

The college has a number of certificate and diploma programs from one to three years^[2]. The college also offers post-graduate certificates and specialized training^[3]. More recently, the college has begun offering two bachelor degree programs in conjunction with University of Windsor^[4][5]. There are also a number of Continuing Education programs and courses available, both in class and online. ^[6]

[edit] Residence

The college's dormitory, The Lambton Inn, has 140 double rooms. Each room is equipped with a full bathroom, 2 desks, beds and armoires^[7]. The residence is in close proximity to the school, including the library, student centre and gym, as well as the Sarnia Sports and Entertainment Centre. The Beer Store and LCBO are within walking distance and provide residents with boisterous entertainment many nights a week and on weekends.

[edit] Student Life

The Lion’s Den is the campus’ fully licensed pub and entertainment facility. There is plenty to do, with 3 pool tables, an air hockey table, video games, darts, TVs and music playing constantly^[8].

[edit] Buildings and Features

Lambton College is noted for its strength in the Technology and Applied Science department due to its location in Canada's Chemical Valley. Additionally, it is the only school to house an industry fire house in Canada.

In 1998, the Sarnia Sports and Entertainment Centre was built on the college's campus. It is the home location of the Sarnia Sting of the Ontario Hockey League, and is primarily used as a hockey arena. However, there are numerous shows, concerts and events that happen throughout the year.

[edit] Homage

In 1974, the college commissioned Hadyn Davies to construct Homage, a wooden structure, outside the main entrance of the college. In 2005, the college tore it down with a backhoe, citing safety concerns due to an ant infestation and other animals degrading the structure. Davies subsequently sued the college contending the college failed to maintain the structure. ^[9]

A video 'homage 2 Homage' has been made calling it an arbitrary decision to destroy the structure.
