Lakehead University's Board of Governors has called a news conference for this Wednesday morning.
It's expected the board will introduce the school's new president, to replace the outgoing Dr. Fred Gilbert. Gilbert is schedule to retire in May. Meanwhile, LU is looking for $36 million from the McGuinty government for a new research facility.
At last week's provincial budget consulatation, LU vice-president Michael Pawloski asked the Finance Minister to fund the proposed forest research building, called Biofor. It would be located next to the Innovation Centre on Balmoral Street.
Pawloski says the University needs a designated space to house their equipment and researchers.
The centre would house 50 researchers and grad students.
A decision is not expected until the provincial budget comes down in March.
