Welcome
Welcome to the 2007 edition of NSCC’s Report to the Community. This is a momentous year for the College as it celebrates the completion of Phase I of the major infrastructure development project launched in 2003. Thanks to the foresight of, and investment by, the Government of Nova Scotia, $123-million was invested to expand and renew campuses across the province and build the environmentally sustainable Waterfront Campus in Dartmouth.
In Phase II, the progress continues with the first purpose-built Trades and Technology building at the Waterfront Campus. Construction will begin on this facility next spring with plans for the new building to be even more eco-friendly than the first. In addition, a new transportation training centre is being constructed at the Akerley Campus.
Providing the Report to the Community on a map of Nova Scotia [printed format] holds special meaning. It’s about Reach - and that can mean many things to many people - whether it’s reaching out to the province, aiming higher in terms of our institutional goals, or encouraging individuals to realize their dreams.
Navigating these stories will illustrate what has been accomplished - not only inside our walls, but also with community partners, various industries, employers, research organizations, government, and other stakeholders.
NSCC is celebrating this auspicious occasion by thanking all Nova Scotians for supporting our quest to create 13 vibrant and innovative campuses that will serve our learners today and well into the future.
