History of the College
Langara College courses and programs were first offered in 1965 at King
Edward Centre as part of Vancouver City College. The current site at West 49th
Avenue has housed the programs since 1970. Langara College was established as an
independent public college under the Provincial College and Institute Act on
April 1, 1994.
Langara College Continuing Studies, established in 1997
and honoured for excellence in 2002 by the Learning Resources Network (LERN), an
international association of lifelong learning, continues to enjoy tremendous
growth and success.
In the early 1990s, a Facility Master Planning
exercise clearly outlined that the College was being utilized at a rate that
exceeded Ministry standards. In January 1997, a new classroom and office
building was opened to address the space needs on the campus, and in September
2007, the new Library/Classroom building opened its doors. |
