Hi guys, this is Rykker here at Fanshawe
College and today we're going to be
doing a general campus tour for you guys
who can't make it to campus and you want
to see what we have to offer in some of
the amazing spaces here. So why don't we
get started and head out the door here.
So here we are in one of our first
academic areas in the school of IT. So we
actually have two campuses where IT
programs happen. You'll find a lot of the
hardware based programming here, things
like our computer systems technician and
cybersecurity programs, and then downtown
you'll also find our computer programmer
analyst and software our based program.
And here we are at one of our first
on-campus residences so one of the great
things about our close proximity campus
spaces is how we're just steps away
from classes when you're leaving the
doors of residence here, and this is one
of three. We also have off-campus housing
available adjacent to the campus.
So here in the Student Center you're gonna find
one of your most important resources, and
that is the Oasis where you're going to
find all of your fresh food options for
breakfast, lunch, and dinner, and that's in close proximity to
all of our on-campus residences. So we
just passed through falcon house you
also see peregrine house here on this
side and Merlin house on the other side
of the building. And this building is the
home of our Student Union and they
provide a lot of vital services to
students things like on-campus and
off-campus activities student advocacy
and they're here to administer your
health and dental plan as a student
which comes included in tuition as well.
Let's go on to the Student Health and
Wellness Center
And here we are in another newer space
on campus this is the Student Health and
Wellness Center so here you're gonna
find lots of the physical wellness, but
also the mental wellness spaces on
campus. So not only do we have a doctor's
office, but we have a pharmacy and a
physiotherapy clinic and you're also
gonna find our three-story fitness
center and several gym spaces available
to use. And the best thing about it, these
services are all included in tuition so
you won't have to pay any extra to come
and work out here.
And a couple more awesome spaces on
campus, here we have the Outback Shack
this is our on-campus Pub and Grill
so they'll be open Monday through Friday
for lunch and dinner options they are
run by the Student Union so they are
students serving students and they keep
costs in mind so this is a good
cost-effective way to get a nice
restaurant experience in, and they also
have lots of events later at night and
things to do. And then here you also see
the games room where you'll be able to
play pool, board games, video games, things
of that nature just to relax on campus
if you're done class for the day or
maybe you've got a big gap and some time to fill.
So here in retail row we've got lots of
important services, The Campus Store
where you can buy any of your textbooks
supplies and potentially a uniform for
your program. You'll also see Live Chic
here which is a great retail space that
is run by our fashion marketing
management students, so they actually get
some real-life experience here on campus
before they move out into their careers.
We also do a farmers market here every
week and you also have an opportunity to
talk about clubs international
opportunities and degree pathways when
you complete your time at Fanshawe. So
this is a great space when you're
walking through you'll find lots of
resources here.
So here in The Junction
we have one of three Tim Horton's spaces
on campus. If you're like me you need to
get your coffee, and luckily you're gonna
find lots of places to do that on campus.
As well we have the Office of the
Registrar, Financial Aid and
International Centre down the E hallway
here, and we have a handy little variety
store if you need it. And as we walk
around the corner you're gonna see that
we have a Pizza Pizza, A Subway and the Red Zone where you can get all that campus
merchandise and swag to show off your
school spirit.
So you're gonna start seeing as we go
through the college here we're gonna hit
more academic areas. We call this
Apprenticeship Way, so you're gonna see
students are gonna be able to lay
foundations,  they're gonna do drywall,
window and door fitting, shingling
roofs, all kinds of those projects you
see some are already on the go here. And
the great thing here is we can
contrast that learning with some of our
engineering programming on the right
side so they'll be doing civil
engineering and lots of different
projects like that on this side here.
Now this area is very popular at Fanshawe,
this is our School of Public Safety so
you're gonna see programs like Paramedic,
Police Foundations, Fire Safety and
Emergency Telecommunications to name a
few. And once a year our students in the
Public Safety program get together
to do one on campus disaster relief
training scenario. So we've done plane
crashes, we'll even do floods, things of
that nature to give them a real-life
learning experience
So here we are in the main space for our
Police Foundations training so you'll
see some mannequins an obstacle course is set up. You're gonna have to do the "Bleep"
test in here things of that nature this
is where you need to get a lot of that
hands-on experience in the program.
Here on the first floor of the B building
you're gonna find some of our Applied
Science programs and classrooms. You'll
see things like Robotics, Sheet Metal, CNC and Millwright, Electronic Systems, lots
of cool stuff going on in here.
And this dark classroom to our right here, this
used to be our aviation home but since
that's moved to the hangar at the London
International Airport we now have our
largest construction lab here. And this
space is actually big enough that our
students will be able to build a whole
two-story house inside in this space. So
they get some really good hands-on
learning here
And we're gonna take a quick step into
our electrical and plumbing lab here I
think this is a cool space.
So students are gonna be able to work on
electrical systems for commercial and
residential right from the ground up
into individual rooms. And they'll also
be able to do the same with plumbing on
this side here so this is a really good
hands-on space there's breakaway
learning space and lots of experiential
learning opportunities here.
So when you look out the windows on the right here
you're gonna see the main bus depot at
the college. This is kind of your gateway
to the city you can get most places with
one bus whether it be downtown or the
Greyhound or via rail station maybe you
want to go to the mall and do some
shopping. You can get on a London Transit
bus you'll be able to show your student
card and year-round that will get you
where you need to go at no extra cost
And here on the left you're going to see
one of several 24-hour study spaces so
you always have access to resources if
you need them.
The Lawrence Kinlin School
of Business is one of the most popular
areas of the college and that's because
of the diversity of options that we have.
So you're gonna see lots of stuff listed
on the wall here we offer programs in HR,
Marketing, Accounting, Finance, Management,
you name it, it's here. And another great
feature of these programs, is that you
can actually pathway through to complete
an Honours Bachelor of Commerce in four
and a half years here at Fanshawe so you
don't necessarily have to have your
university readiness in high school
starting one of our diplomas and work
your way through.
So now we're gonna start our walk
through the Health Science area of the
college. Fanshawe and London in general
are very popular for this area of study
because we do have three hospitals and a
lot of leading medical research comes
from here. So you'll see programs like
Medical Radiation, Respiratory Therapy,
Nursing to name a few.
So this hallway here on the second floor
of F building is a vital space for
students who are looking to seek
accommodations for any physical or
mental barriers that they may have to
success. So that could be things like our
Learning Centre where you get both $5 an hour
private tutoring or free drop-in
tutoring. Or it could be something like
our Counselling and Accessibility office
here where you can seek those
accommodations. Maybe you need to have
something privately proctored in the
Testing Centre, these are options for you
here at Fanshawe and we want to make sure
that our students don't fail based on
things that are out of the control we
want everybody to succeed here.
And now we're going to be entering our School of Design in the H building here so you're
going to find programs in this building
including Landscape Design, Environmental
Design, Graphic Design, Fashion Design,
Interior Design, Interior
Decorating, GIS and Urban Planning so
lots of different options here.
So here in the M building you're going
to find many of our Creative Industries
programs, this includes the programs that
take place in our award-winning
broadcast studio here. So we do things in
TV and Film,
Journalism and Radio, and in fact we have
the oldest CRTC regulated radio station
of any educational institution in Canada.
So we've been at it for a long time and
we think we do a pretty good job here in
that industry.
And here at the end of the
hall we're gonna find the studio for
106.9 the X and for Londoners they'll be
very familiar with that radio station.
Our students are broadcasting live
on-air here so they get some valuable
experiential learning in their time in
the program here.
Alright guys, so that
concludes the tour here at Fanshawe
College there's lots more to see so we
encourage you to book a tour come visit
