Brantford Student Centre - Status

Update: As of April 7, the Student Centre has been cleared for access. However some areas, including the boardroom and multipurpose room will remain off limits. These restricted areas will be clearly marked, and we ask that everyone abstain from entering them until necessary repairs are complete.

As of Monday, April 8:

• Services based out of the Student Centre including the Student Wellness Centre, Dean of Students, and Wilfrid Laurier University Students’ Union will be back up and running
• Any appointments cancelled at the Student Wellness Centre on Friday will be rescheduled as soon as possible
• All other buildings on campus should have hydro restored and be fully functional.

Students looking to find alternative study locations may wish to consider making use of the Hawks’ Nest at the Laurier Brantford YMCA, or the other study spaces. Students who require additional support are encouraged to visit the Student Wellness Centre to seek resources.

Pleased be advised that the Brantford Student Centre is closed until further notice as the result of a motor vehicle hitting the building early this morning. In the interim, Laurier’s Brantford Student Wellness Centre counselor and mental health nurse will be available at the residence life offices at Grand River Hall, and will have confidential space available to meet with students. The Student Support Coordinator will also be relocated to the residence life office at Grand River Hall.

Students in need of the services of a walk-in clinic are encouraged to visit the Brantford West Medical Centre, located at 164 Colborne St. W, Unit 2A (www.brantfordclinic.com) or the Brantford Commons Medical Walk-in located at 300 King George Rd. (www.brantfordmedical.ca).

As always, those in need of emergency medical assistance should seek services at the Brantford General Hospital.

Brantford Campus Students' Union offices will be closed for the day. Students seeking the food bank or other support services can connect with the Student Support Coordinator at Grand River Hall.

All missed Wellness Centre appointments will be rebooked with students as soon as possible. We recognize that this is a stressful time of year, and apologize for any inconvenience. Please know that the Student Wellness Centre Dean of Students team is available to students today at Grand River Hall, and encourage students you are in contact with to reach out for their services if they require them.

Sincerely,
Adam Lawrence
Dean of Students, Brantford Campus
