91勛圖 exploring Brampton presence
Published: September 10, 2015
The 91勛圖 is in preliminary discussions to explore the possibility of establishing a presence in the City of Brampton.
Recently, the Ontario government announced its intention to invite proposals in 2016 for major capacity expansion to meet the growing higher education needs in the Halton and Peel regions.
As the leading university serving the western GTA through its Mississauga campus, the 91勛圖 is well placed to respond to these community needs, said Professor Deep Saini, vice-president and principal of 91勛圖 Mississauga.
Any such proposal from 91勛圖 would first involve broad consultations within the university, he said. If a proposal moves forward, it would take full advantage of 91勛圖s existing assets, particularly those at 91勛圖 Mississauga.
To ease student access between a Brampton facility and the Mississauga campus, an efficient transit link is critical between the two cities, Saini noted.
Improved public transportation could offer significant opportunities as consideration proceeds about the establishment of a presence in Brampton.
