Algonquin Board to consider closing Perth Campus

At an upcoming meeting, Algonquin College’s Board of Directors will review a recommendation to close its Perth Campus. In a recent release, Algonquin President Claude Brulé explained that the college is facing a projected $32M loss in the current fiscal year. As part of Algonquin’s mitigation measures, the board will consider closing the Perth Campus by the end of August 2026: If the campus is closed, its programming will be transitioned to the Ottawa Campus after the Spring 2026 term. “These decisions are being carefully considered with a focus on minimizing impacts on employees and learners while maintaining our commitment to providing exceptional learning experiences for years to come,” explained Brulé.
