St. Lambert is the largest component of Champlain Regional College.
It was opened in September 1972 in temporary quarters when space shortages
necessitated a new CEGEP facility on the South Shore.



The first priority was to find a permanent location for a campus and to get the physical
plant built. With the acquisition of 21 acres of land (8 in St. Lambert and 13 in Longueuil)
along the St. Lawrence Seaway, a contract was negotiated and in August 1973,
the first block of the building was completed. The move into a new educational facility
began and classes started on September 4th. Construction of phase two of the building was commenced in August 1974. Champlain St. Lambert is the only anglophone CEGEP with specially designed facilities in the Montreal area.

The completed campus was officially opened in October 1976.

St. Lambert has established a sound reputation in established programs and in addition
to the regular day program, offers an extensive selection of continuing education courses.
This extension program rivals the day operation
not only in numbers but also in social significance.
