Many additions including the Keyano Theatre & Arts Centre, the Suncor Energy Industrial Campus and the Syncrude Sport and Wellness Centre have been added to the Keyano College landscape.

The College has an ongoing commitment to Aboriginal education with learning centers located in Fort McKay and Gregoire Lake. The College has been involved with the community of Fort Chipewyan for over 30 years, and in 2011, a campus was opened.
