The Halton District School Board is entering into an agreement with Brock University, to utilize a portion of the former Lester B. Pearson High School facility, beginning in April 2023. This request from Brock University serves as a temporary accommodation for the university, until their permanent location is ready at the future City of Burlington community hub on New Street (the former Robert Bateman High School site).
As previously announced, the Burlington Gary Allan Learning Centre will also relocate to the site of the future City of Burlington community hub. The Board is pleased to collaborate and assist Brock University, as one of its future co-tenants at the Burlington community hub, as they transition toward their permanent campus at this location.
This provides a responsible use of the school facilities until the Halton District School Board determines the future use of the school property according to Ontario Regulation 444/98. The agreement for Brock University to use a portion of this school property aligns with the Board's Community Planning and Partnerships process, in offering space to community partners.
Lester B. Pearson High School closed at the end of June 2018 with students transferring to nearby M.M. Robinson High School.
