OUR CAMPUSES The Welland Campus (WC) has been completely overhauled over the past 10 years with expansions, additions and renovations to every section of the facility. The original home of NC, this campus is a leader in sustainable technology and operates state-of-the-art, modern learning environments designed to help students succeed in their education and career training. The WC is located in a residential community conveniently within walking distance of shopping centres and a variety of grocery and dining establishments. Since opening in 1998 the 125-acre Daniel J. Patterson Campus in Niagara-on-the-Lake (NL) has been the centre for NC’s business, hospitality, environmental, culinary and wine programs. It has blossomed into a masterpiece of hands-on learning through the innovative development of several on-campus teaching enterprises. It has most recently seen the addition of a state-of-the-art fitness and research centre in the Marotta Family Innovation Complex together with Canada’s first and only Cannabis Institute and Teaching Distillery.
Welland Campus
Students and visitors alike can enjoy two worlds: the natural landscape of the Niagara escarpment situated adjacent to the campus and the lively surrounding communities. There is something for everyone, including a 100+ brand outlet shopping centre across the street. Both campuses are just a short drive from Niagara Falls, one of the wonders of the natural world and among North America’s busiest tourism destinations. The beautiful Niagara Parkway, the Niagara River, and Ontario Wine Country are within driving distance as well. On the days you aren’t studying, there are beautiful sand beaches and summertime fun close by along the shores of Lake Erie and Lake Ontario, two of Ontario’s Great Lakes which offers swimming, fishing, boating or hiking.

This territory is covered by the Upper Canada Treaties and is within the land protected by the Dish With One Spoon Wampum agreement. Today this gathering place is home to many First Nations, Métis, and Inuit peoples and acknowledging reminds us that our great standard of living is directly related to the resources and friendship of Indigenous peoples.
