Campus
LCS has a 155-acre (0.63 km2) wooded, waterfront, campus on the east shore of Lake Katchewanooka in rural Ontario. It is just north of the village of Lakefield, an hour and a half north-east of Toronto by road.
It contains eleven boarding houses, with an average of just over 20 students per house. The main building contains a chapel, dining hall, modern theatre, music room, art room, day student locker rooms, science labs, large library, computer lab, and classrooms.
An outdoor artificial ice surface has been operational since November 2005. A boathouse at the waterfront contains sailboats, kayaks, and canoes. Other buildings contain the dance studio and weight room.
Recently, 160 acres (0.65 km2) of land was donated to LCS through the Gastle family. The 'Northcote' campus officially became part of the LCS community on October 27, 2007.
In October 2008, Lakefield College School opened a new student recreation centre, named Hadden Hall in honour of David and Susan Hadden's 23 years at the school. The facility includes a gymnasium, outdoor education wing, indoor climbing wall, dance studio, exercise facility, and several common areas for students. The east wing of the hall was named the Paul and Hélène Demarais Family Outdoor Education Wing, and the gymnasium was named for The McEwen Family. This new building is the school's first LEED gold-certified building.
Construction on LCS's second LEED gold-certified building, a new residence - Cooper House was complete for Fall 2009.
