University of Waterloo: Student Life Centre

A 77,000 sq. ft. expansion delivering modern dining, fitness, study, and event spaces, creating a vibrant, flexible hub at the heart of campus life.

Project Description

The most current phase to the Student Life Centre is a 77,000 sf addition completed in 2021.

The building now contains

  • Expanded food services and student dining areas
  • Informal study and lounge spaces
  • Physical Activities Complex (PAC) entry and control
  • A reimagined and expanded fitness centre
  • A fitness studio and climbing walls.

The upper levels contain various sized multi purpose and event rooms, lounges as well as PAC administrative offices. A multi-faith chapel and graduate student offices are featured on the third floor.

The design strategy has been to create an integrated, flexible and highly functional student centre, as a welcoming and compelling place which frames an equally inviting and significant outdoor social space (Great Lawn) for students to enjoy and to traverse the central campus.
