With summer enrollments up 22 percent, and fall projections showing further increases, North Idaho College is nearing capacity at its 45-acre lakeshore campus in Coeur d’Alene.

But now, with an annually renewable lease agreement approved between the college and the NIC Foundation, NIC is looking to expand onto a 17-acre parcel of land north of its Coeur d’Alene campus.

The property, a former mill site, will enable NIC to extend the main campus while retaining access to existing student services, according to a news release.     

The college’s board of trustees approved the lease agreement at a special meeting on July 21.

“Having this property become available is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to allow for growth on the Coeur d’Alene campus,” stated NIC President Priscilla Bell. “We’re grateful to the NIC Foundation for securing this valuable land.”
