With a multi-million-dollar renovation finally complete, students at Lakeshore Campus had their first chance to see the new Humber Student Federation offices, student centre, and games room on Monday, but they won’t see any new services soon, HSF said.

“We want to emulate North Campus in the sense that they have things like a dental hygienist and pharmacy and we do want to start bringing some of those services to Lakeshore,” said vice-president of administration at Lakeshore, Kristen Arcega.
But she said a decision would not be made before September on what services would be housed in the new K Building.
Executive director of HSF, Ercole Perrone, said “a dental hygienist, pharmacy, and chiropractor have been clearly articulated to us by students as the top three.”
The student centre, on the main floor, has a large open space with stage and projection screen for events and the bottom floor has a study lounge and games room with foosball and pool tables.
Arcega said “we’ve had a bunch of students come in to check it out, and so far everyone seems to like it.”
“The building looks good and it should benefit students on this campus,” said post-graduate student in international marketing at Lakeshore, Mark Raso, 23.
“I hope the services they bring will be things that will be useful to students.”
The $9 million cost of renovating the landmark building, a one-time psychiatric hospital, was split between HSF and Humber, Perrone said.
