6. Capacity to Deliver
Fanshawe College is the sixth largest of Ontario’s Colleges of Applied Arts and Technology, with over
15,000 post‐secondary enrolments annually. Approximately one‐third of Fanshawe’s post‐secondary
students are enrolled in the Lawrence Kinlin School of Business, the largest academic division within the
College. Fanshawe College currently delivers three applied degree programs, and is eager to expand its
degree offerings.
Academic programs are delivered by over 400 full‐time professors and a much larger number of adjunct
faculty members.
The college operates with a $192 million budget (2011/12), and has the capacity to allocate these
resources to achieve its strategic goals.
In April 2012 the Board of Governors adopted the 2012/13 Strategic Plan Implementation (Appendix B).
Several elements of that strategy illustrate the college’s commitment to building and maintaining
capacity for learning through various approaches. Section 6 provides several references to
commitments made by the Board of Governors and senior executives in this Strategic Plan
Implementation strategy.
6.1 Learning and Physical Resources
Fanshawe College has a full‐service on‐site Library as well as a well‐developed virtual library for students
to access easily from the classroom or off‐campus. Classroom space is readily available, and plans are
budgeted to increase the number of laptop‐enabled classrooms in order to accommodate the new
Bachelor of Commerce programs. No specialized laboratory or other specialized physical resources are
needed.
Space is readily available for students to study quietly, to work in groups, and to access computer
workstations. Plans to expand and enhance the learning environment are outlined below.
To complement learning, an extensive array of recreational and fitness facilities and programs are
readily available as well.
6.1.1 Library and Media Resources and Services
Information resources, research help and facilities to support the research and learning of students
in the Lawrence Kinlin School of Business are available from Library and Media Services (LMS) at the
London Campus of Fanshawe College.
Information Resources
The collection includes extensive access to digital business periodicals both on and off‐campus,
including recent and historical scholarly journals and trade publications. Print monographs and
periodicals, media software and media equipment complete the resources available to Business
students. Students can borrow materials from all 24 Ontario college libraries that participate in the
“Direct Borrowing Agreement”, as well as many other libraries through interlibrary loans. Further
discussion of Information Resources is provided below.
