Manor College anticipates that the upgrades will bring the college a fresh vibrant appearance, enhancing academic and social opportunities for students.

“These facilities renovations are just the things you can see. We’re doing so much additionally, including in areas of online learning, faculty development opportunities, new and better fitness facilities and shuttle-bus arrangements, additional athletics teams and more. We already have an amazing 9:1 student teacher ratio, wonderful accessibility, and greater success for our students than our peers, so now we’re competing against ourselves to stay ahead of the curve.”
