Buildings

The University of Waterloo is continually upgrading campus and building accessibility and welcomes input from campus users with disabilities. All levels of teaching facilities are accessible.

Plant Operations have floor plans and photos for most UWaterloo buildings. These are categorized by the name of the building followed by the floor number. Note: you will need to provide your UWaterloo userid to view the floor plans. Residence building floor plans are restricted to Plant Operations staff and other selected groups only!

This alphabetical listing of campus buildings provides information on accessible entrances, location of accessible washrooms, elevators, telephones and accessible parking close to the building.

Routes

The campus map shows accessible entrances, accessible parking, location of help lines, and construction sites. The map responds to both your mouse and your keyboard. Use the arrow keys for scrolling and "-" and "+" for zooming in and out.
