Aviation Parkway. Construction began the same year and the permanent campus of La Cité collégiale was ready for the start of the 1995–1996 school year. Sitting on of land, the campus included eight buildings designed by Brisbin Brook Beynon Architects (BBB Architects), Panzini Architectes and Paquet: "The primary issue raised at the time of conception arose from a singular statement concerned with the affirmation of one culture in the midst of another; the underlying significance of La Cité as a symbol of the Franco Ontarian identity within the community at large." Through the years, enrolment has grown and the range of training opportunities offered has continued to widen. In 2013, the college went through a rebranding exercise with a new logo and a new brand, La Cité. Presidents The first president of the college, Andrée Lortie, helmed the establishment until her retirement in March 2010. She was replaced by Lise Bourgeois, who had been head of the Conseil des écoles catholiques du Centre-Est (CECCE) (Ontario) (Central-Eastern Catholic School Board), the largest French school board in Canada outside of the province of Québec. Campuses The main campus of La Cité is in Ottawa. It has ten buildings built on of land, all of which are connected by skyways or tunnels. In September 2010, another campus, the Alphonse-Desjardins campus, was inaugurated in Orléans, an eastern suburb of Ottawa. It houses the college's Centre des métiers Minto, a training centre specializing in the construction trades. In September 2011, the 911 Institute, an emergency services training centre, opened its doors on the main campus. La Cité also has a satellite campus in Hawkesbury, an Eastern Ontario town about from Ottawa. The college now offers a few programs in Toronto. Programs Many of its more than 90 training programs include the teaching of terminology in both of Canada's official languages (French and English). The college also offers apprenticeship programs, in French, in the construction, motive power, service, and industrial sectors.
