MISSISSAUGA — A plan to add a second building on the Sheridan College campus in the City Centre has been given the thumbs up by councillors.

Council recently approved a lease agreement for a second campus building on the Sheridan Institute of Technology and Advanced Learning's Hazel McCallion Campus. The second building will help deal with the influx of students the campus has been experiencing and will be able to accommodate 3,200 full-time students.

There are currently 2,700 students enrolled at the campus.

"I'm very pleased with the success of Sheridan and the addition of a second building to their campus," said Mayor Hazel McCallion. "The expansion will accommodate more students and continue to bring life to our downtown."
