Lakehead University - Orillia evolved from Lakehead Technical Institute founded in 1946 and Lakehead College of Arts, Science, and Technology (founded 1957). Lakehead Technical Institute was established on June 4, 1946, by an Order-in-Council of the Province of Ontario. Classes commenced in January 1948, in temporary rented quarters in downtown Port Arthur. In September of that same year, the first university courses were added to the curriculum. Lakehead College of Arts, Science and Technology was established by an Act of the Ontario Legislature proclaimed on August 1, 1957.Years later, the original Lakehead College of Arts, Science and Technology Act was amended to grant the college authority to establish new faculties, and confer degrees in arts and sciences. Lakehead University - Orillia Act, 1965, was given royal assent on June 22, 1965, and came into force on July 1, 1965. The Lakehead College of Arts, Science and Technology, thereafter known as " Lakehead University - Orillia," was continued under this new charter. The first degrees were conferred on May 5, 1965.
In September 2006, Lakehead University - Orillia opened a new campus in downtown Orillia, Ontario.

The donated land would be the site for the new campus located just off of Highway 11.
