Abstract	Education Canada asked Tom Thompson, president of Olds College and a prime mover behind the Community Learning Campus (CLC): What were the lessons learned from this unusually ambitious education project? Thompson mentions six lessons he learned from this complex project which include: (1) Dream big, build small, act now; (2) Keep a low profile at the design stage; (3) Take a business approach; (4) Get 75 percent of the facts and get going; (5) Attain momentum and don't take your foot off the gas; and (6) Preserve at least some of your intellectual capital to get you through a lull. Thompson explains that building small means trying to get this complex project down to an explainable, simple message to the point where anybody could explain it any time. He adds that keeping a low profile means not involving many people at the design stage. He also emphasizes the importance of taking a business approach, taking advantage, and commitment. (ERIC).
