Upgrades announced for aging Holland College campus

A 1930s-era building, now the Prince of Wales campus of Holland College in Charlottetown, will see some improvements with the help of the provincial and federal governments.

Upgrades to the building were announced Monday morning as part of previously-announced infrastructure money for post-secondary institutions on the Island.
