A brief description of the institution’s main campus and other aspects of the institutional boundary used to complete this report:

Wilfrid Laurier University has three campuses.

Of Laurier’s 19,000 graduate and undergraduate students, 16,000 are enrolled at our Waterloo campus (the main campus), which trades on the energy from this region of 350,000 where smartphone maker BlackBerry got its start. Faculties in Arts, Music, Science, Education, Graduate Studies and the Lazaridis School of Business and Economics are based here. Laurier is a leading force in research among Canadian universities, and many of our research centres and institutes are housed here.

More than 3,000 students are enrolled at Laurier’s Brantford campus, which opened in 1999. The faculties of Liberal Arts and Human and Social Sciences are based here. Our Brantford campus is rooted in the downtown core, offering a unique campus-life experience.

In 2006, Laurier’s Lyle S. Hallman Faculty of Social Work program moved to a fully renovated century-old building in downtown Kitchener. Close to 300 graduate students are based in the heart of the downtown area, minutes away from Laurier’s Waterloo campus.
