Level One Lounge in Brantford
The Level One Lounge (L1) is one of the only exclusively social spaces dedicated to students on the Brantford Campus. The L1 is located on the first level (basement) of One Market, OM116.
The L1 is the perfect place to relax after a hard midterm, collaborate with a group on a project, or best your friends in a competitive match.
The goal of the L1 is to provide a place for Laurier students to spend time with friends as well as meet new ones by providing a casual and relaxed environment.

Rules and Guidelines
- The L1 Lounge is not a quiet space due to its social nature. We expect people to have fun at varying volumes. Students are still expected to behave with respect for others and abide by the Non-Academic Student Code of Conduct.
- We expect all attendees to respect the property of the space. If something is broken or goes missing; the student using the equipment at the time will be held responsible under 6.01.05 a-d.
- We ask students to respect our booking system and holds for events. Drop-ins are always welcome and encouraged, but students with bookings have priority on games/devices.
Acknowledgements
The L1 was only made possible through a generous donation from the Student Life Levy. We extend a gracious thanks to all the undergraduate students that funded the project through the years!
Suggestion Box
The L1 is a space for students and we want it shaped by students!
Have an idea for something that needs to go in the lounge, or a game that we absolutely need to get for the consoles? Drop us an email to tbritz@wlu.ca with your suggestion and we will make sure to consider it!
