Our location in the heart of the beautiful Lakes Region of New
Hampshire, with its Summer activities on the water and hiking
trails and its Winter activities on the ski slopes and snowmobile
trails, makes Lakes Region Community college an attractive college
option for all. In the Fall of 2005 we dedicated a brand new
academic building to house six of our academic programs. This new
