Lake Superior College

Lake Superior College was created when the Duluth Technical College and Duluth Community College Center (which was technically the Duluth campus of Hibbing Community College ) merged in 1995. At the time, Duluth Community College was housed in a wing of The Marshall School , and Duluth Technical College was housed in LSC's current location. The community college programs were relocated on to the former Technical School campus, when it was expanded in 1996.

LSC Health and Science Building Built in 1968, LSC's main campus is located on Trinity Road in Duluth on a 97-acre (39 ha) tract that overlooks the western portion of the Duluth/Superior harbor and the Saint Louis River. The campus features an award-winning hiking trail, a trout stream (Miller Creek) and access to a city-run disc golf course. Facilities have been expanded and upgraded over the years. For example, in 2007 when the Academic and Student Services building was completed and an area of the campus was renovated to house a Student Life Center. On March 14, 2010, legislation approving funding for a new Health and Sciences Center addition was signed into law. [ 1 ] The $12 million plus project broke ground June 11, 2010 and a grand opening was held on Friday, January 6, 2012. The building opened for classes on Monday, January 9. In addition to its main campus, LSC also operates an Emergency Response Training Center on 105 acres (42 ha) in Gary/New Duluth and a Professional Pilot Training Center out of leased facilities at the Duluth International Airport. Lake Superior College opened a Duluth Downtown Center in August 2014 to house welding, computer-aided drafting, and machining programs. This move increased the amount of teaching space in these fields from 3,000 square feet to 33,700 square feet and included new equipment for labs. The Downtown Center was then closed in July 2024 due to the building owner needing additional space. Those integrated manufacturing programs moved back to the Main Campus as part of the T-Building expansion in spring of 2025. In September 2016, LSC opened a new Center for Advanced Aviation in Hangar 103 at the Duluth International Airport. LSC's aviation programs— professional pilot and aviation maintenance technician- are now under one roof. This 40,000-square-foot facility was remodeled to serve FAA teaching requirements.

Lake Superior College is accredited by the Higher Learning Commission of the North Central Association of Colleges and Schools .

The president of Lake Superior College is Patricia Rogers. Rogers succeeded Patrick M. Johns in 2019. Johns began his assignment on July 1, 2010, succeeding Kathleen Nelson, who had served as president for 13 years. LSC's first president was Harold Erickson. He served from 1995 to 1997.
