Sir Sandford Fleming College (commonly known as Fleming College) is a College of Applied Arts and Technology in Peterborough, Ontario. The college also has campuses in Lindsay, Cobourg and Haliburton. Named after the famous Scottish born engineer and inventor Sir Sandford Fleming, who is perhaps best known for his contributions to the concept of Universal Standard Time, the college has formed affiliations with a number of provincial, national and international universities in forming college to university pathways. The College generally is noted for its excellent environmental, business, massage therapy, and nursing programs. Additionally, Fleming College has a Computer Security & Investigations program, which is one of only three related programs in Canada. The Home and Building Automation program is also offered and is the only course of its kind in North America.

[edit] History

On May 21, 1965, legislation was formally introduced within Ontario establishing Colleges of Applied Arts and Technology by then Minister of Education William G. Davis. This historic occasion for education within Ontario marked the beginning of what would become, some 40 years later, a group 21 Colleges of Applied Arts and Technology and 3 College Institutes of Technology and Advanced Learning. Sir Sandford Fleming College was founded in 1967 by David B. Sutherland, three years after Trent University, also in Peterborough, was founded. Mr. Sutherland was the husband of Peterborough's longest serving Mayor, Sylvia Sutherland.

[edit] Cobourg campus

The Cobourg Campus was officially opened in 1971.

[edit] Haliburton campus

The Haliburton School of Fine Arts joined the college in 1969.

[edit] Lindsay campus

St. Joseph's Convent was the original location of a Lindsay campus back in 1967. The college acquired its own facilities by 1973 and in turn, this site was named the Frost Campus (in honour of Leslie Frost). It is currently home to the School of Environmental and Natural Resource Sciences. This campus focuses on natural resource education (geology, fish and wildlife, GIS, etc.), and was expanded with a new environmental technology wing in 2004.

[edit] Peterborough campuses

[edit] McRae campus

In 1967 a campus opened in a renovated textile mill on McDonnel Street and the following year this site was officially named the Stewart W. Daniel Building. The McRae building was constructed on this same property as the college again realized an expansion in 1976. Today, this latter site is accessible through a Bonaccord Street entrance.

[edit] Sutherland campus

The Dobbin farm was selected in 1968 for what would later be named the Brealey Campus. In 1973, the first two phases of the site were opened and in 1983, the site was officially named the Sutherland Campus in honour of the college’s first and founding president. The Sutherland campus recently underwent expansion, which included a new on-campus residence, which opened in 2002, and a new technology wing, which was opened in 2003.

The new St. Joseph’s at Fleming is the first long-term care facility to be built on a college or university campus. A cluster of eight resident homes for 200 people, the facility is setting the standard for compassionate care and innovation.

In 2005, the Peterborough Sport & Wellness Centre was constructed to accommodate the college's athletic needs.
