A new student residence is officially underway at Lambton College, adding 200 much-needed beds to support the college’s growing enrollment and enhance student life in Sarnia.
Announced in June 2025, the $40 million project, located on London Road, is expected to open in 2027. It’s a significant milestone not just for the college, but for the city’s broader effort to strengthen its post-secondary infrastructure and support the next generation of workers.
The new, 1050,000 square foot building with living space for 311 students will help attract learners from across the province and beyond, while easing pressure on Sarnia’s housing market. It is the largest capital project ever undertaken by Lambton College and aligns closely with Invest Sarnia’s focus on workforce readiness, talent attraction, and livability.
The residence is being delivered through a public-private partnership with Tilbury Properties Corporation and Fengate Asset Management who will design, construct, finance, operate, and maintain the residence.
Student housing is about education and building a foundation for future workforce growth. This investment helps ensure Sarnia remains a competitive choice for students and a welcoming community for young professionals building their futures.
