For 48 years Glendon Campus played host to our lectures, but during the pandemic LLIR had to pivot to courses online as LLIR@Home due to COVID-19 restrictions. We returned to our home at Glendon in September 2022.

LLIR and Glendon have enjoyed a close relationship for many years, but our association with the college is informal. Our Academic Consultant is on the faculty at Glendon and many of our course directors are Glendon faculty.

LLIR members have access to the cafeteria, exhibition gallery and other college facilities and special events. Our members can obtain a library card at the Glendon Campus library for a fee. Learn more about Glendon Campus and its facilities.
