d) Building Infrastructure, Renewal and Site Services - Reinvestment in the College’s
infrastructure is a prudent strategy towards maintaining a functionally enriched learning and
working environment for students and employees. Ongoing reinvestment into facilities
infrastructure is imperative considering the age of the College’s facilities as several buildings
are more than 40 years old. In addition, “normal” wear and tear of facilities is accelerated
through higher enrolments that increase occupant density and intensify occupant use.
Examples of such infrastructure reinvestment include the following renewal and/or
improvements: energy conservation and demand reduction initiatives, boiler and fan system
replacements, building envelope initiatives (such as brick reparation, siding, roof, window
glazing, caulking and door system replacements), life safety system modernization, fire
sprinkler installations, parking lot and roadway maintenance, and way-finding signage
improvements. Landscape enhancements will also continue over the next few years as the
campus gardens and landscaping are developed on the London Campus, supported
through student projects within our landscape and horticulture programs.
Ontario’s college system regularly advocates for sufficient levels of government funding on
an ongoing basis to support effective operations, management and stewardship of the
physical resources within the Ontario college system. Although the ongoing funding
allocation for this purpose falls well short of what is actually needed, from time to time the
government has made available additional funds at the end of their fiscal year specifically
targeted at facilities and/or capital equipment renewal. The College has leveraged these
funds towards high priority facilities/equipment improvements.
