Today, Lakeland serves more than 8,000 full-time and part-time students each year at the main campus in Kirtland, an off-site location in Madison, and via distance learning.

Mooreland Mansion, officially Edward W. and Louise C. Moore Estate as listed on the National Register of Historic Places, built in 1898,[13] expanded in 1906,[6] and renovated in 1998,[7] is located on the campus, and is used as a community facility.

[7] The Holden Center, constructed in 2011 was made to expand their offerings past 2-year degrees and into 4-year programs by partnering with other colleges.

This may be in part due to the many prominent healthcare centers in northeast Ohio including the Cleveland Clinic and University Hospitals.

Classes offered here are the same as those in the regular Lakeland curriculum and are taught by the same pool of full-time and part-time faculty.

Lakeland CC participates in Region XII of the NJCAA and are members of the Ohio Community College Athletic Conference (OCCAC).

The Lakeland Lakers have long been represented by a line drawing of a wave and a simple "L" on uniform caps.
