About the college
Conrad Grebel University College is a residential and academic college owned and operated by Mennonite Church Eastern Canada and affiliated with the University of Waterloo. Situated on a hillside overlooking the university campus, and separated by a graceful pond, the architectural strength of the college buildings is enhanced by the beautiful natural setting of spacious trees on well-groomed lawns.

The residence houses 140 beds on the upper two floors with a dining room located on the lower floor. All rooms are double occupancy, with two single beds, wardrobes and desks. All rooms are supplied with sheets, towels, blankets, and pillows. Washrooms are shared, and pay-per-use laundry facilities are available. Meals are served in an attractive cafeteria-style dining room that seats 300 people. Air-conditioned apartment units are also available, complete with four single bedrooms, living room, kitchen, and both a full and a half bathroom.

Parking is available adjacent to the academic/administrative building. Vehicles parked in the “no parking” zones in front of garbage bins, doorways and service entrances will be towed away immediately.
Parking fees apply Monday to Friday from 7:30 am until 7:30 pm. Parking can be purchased through the Honk Mobile app (Zone 9072) or through the Honk QR code (no app needed). The QR code is available in the main entrance vestibule or at the reception desk. Parking can also be purchased with cash or card at Grebel's reception desk. Parking rates are $3/hour up to $9 per day.
There are six electronic vehicle charging stations located in Grebel's main parking lot. A vehicle utilizing the charging stations must have a valid permit or have purchased parking via HONK. As of September 1, 2022 there will be a usage charge of $1.00 per hour for Grebel's EV charging stations. You are encouraged to move your vehicle to another parking spot once your charge is complete as we are anticipating a high demand for EV charging.
Please note that a parking permit is not a guarantee of a parking spot.
