Algonquin, Trent Durham celebrate facilities, building inaugurations

Algonquin College and Trent University Durham have each celebrated the opening of buildings and facilities on their campuses recently. Algonquin renovated a learning space on its Ottawa campus into a state-of-the-art, fully equipped electrical training lab that will be used by students in its electrical techniques apprenticeship program. The lab is named in honour of Merit Ontario, which sponsored the renovations. Trent Durham has launched the Black Life and Community Knowledge (BLACK) Lab that will be used to support community-engaged learning and scholarship and foster connections. The university announced the creation of a new Black Studies specialization for its sociology program as part of the launch.
