Overview

Laurier traces its roots to the opening of the Evangelical Lutheran Seminary in Waterloo more than 100 years ago in 1911. We’ve gone through several changes since then, and in 1973 our name changed from Waterloo Lutheran University to Wilfrid Laurier University. In 1999, we opened our campus in Brantford.

Brantford Campus
The Brantford campus has transformed the downtown core of the City of Brantford into a thriving student community home to around 2,700 undergraduate and graduate students. With its buildings spread throughout the city's heart, the Brantford campus is interwoven into the downtown.
