Formerly in an overcrowded room in the basement of Lakehead University, the new lounge is bigger, brighter, and better representative of Indigenous culture.

THUNDER BAY – After years of studying and celebrating culture in a cramped room, Lakehead University will now have a space that better represents the approximately 1,400 Indigenous students enrolled.

The Aboriginal Cultural and Support Services offices, and Aboriginal student lounge was unveiled on Wednesday, marking the final step in a nearly four-year process.

The new ACSS office and lounge is located in the core of the university, replacing the old basement location which constantly experienced overcrowding.
